Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trust accounting?

A trust accounting is a detailed report provided by a trustee showing all financial activities related to the trust, including income, expenses, distributions, and asset management.

Can I force a trustee to provide an accounting?

Yes. Beneficiaries have the right to request and, if necessary, petition the court to compel a trustee to produce a full and accurate accounting.

What if the trustee refuses to cooperate?

If a trustee refuses to provide an accounting, the court can order them to comply or, in serious cases, remove them from their position for breaching fiduciary duties.

Time limits vary depending on the jurisdiction and case circumstances. It’s best to consult an attorney immediately upon discovering irregularities to avoid missing legal deadlines.
