When a trust is created, a trustee has a number of duties. They must, for example, ensure that the correct beneficiaries (the people who benefit) are paid, they must keep up to date with trust accounts and must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries.
Sometimes, however, trustees do not adhere to their duties (whether deliberately or accidentally) and a breach of trust arises. When this happens, there are a few options to resolve these kinds of disputes which can be incredibly complex and nuanced.
