LG. Lawyers - Contentious Trusts & Estates

Contentious trusts & estates

Our dedicated Contentious Trusts and Estates team has a wealth of experience on all aspects of trust and estate disputes, onshore and offshore. We advise regularly on the resolution of disputes with a view to avoiding litigation where possible, via the formation of secure trust structures, and provide ongoing advice on administrative risk regulation to avoid problems arising in the future. Sometimes, of course, litigation is unavoidable and we are highly skilled at running cross-jurisdictional court actions and negotiating situations where different laws conflict.

We can advise you on...

Co-ordinating and managing complex cross-border trust and estate disputes
International and cross-jurisdictional trust and succession issues, including forced heirship claims under civil or Sharia law
Claims by and against trustees and personal representatives, including applications for Court guidance
Disputes between beneficiaries
Removal and appointment of trustees and personal representatives
International asset tracing and recovery
Accessory liability issues for the trustee

We have extensive knowledge of the trust laws of a number of offshore jurisdictions and strong connections with local service providers.
