New York Attorneys - Claims Against Fiduciaries

Claims against fiduciaries in New York fall into two broad categories: actions by beneficiaries and actions by third parties.

On occasion, beneficiaries or creditors of an estate may take issue with the actions of a fiduciary and make claims based upon the fiduciary's breach of duty, self-dealing or negligence. Such claims arise not only in the administration of trusts or decedents' estates, but also in connection with conservatorships, guardianships and powers of attorney matters. Claims by third parties may arise in a number of ways: claims relating to a decedent's conduct before death, for which the estate remains liable; claims based on contracts entered into by a fiduciary in his fiduciary capacity; and claims by creditors of the estate in New York.
