ssets promised to you, legal action should be taken. There is limited time in which to take legal action in these cases and if you fail to do so you could lose your opportunity to get the inheritance you were intended to receive. Fortunately, the law provides that executors and trustees owe a fiduciary duty, the highest duty under the law. Often all it takes is hiring an attorney to make an appearance to vindicate your rights. Other times, a full courthouse battle is required, With over twenty years of litigation experience, I understand when a fight is necessary and when compromise is best for all parties.

What is inheritance theft?

Ultimately, it is the wrongful appropriation of an inheritance from the rightful heirs or beneficiaries.

That could be accomplished before or after death. Before a person dies, their assets can be stolen or diverted, so there is very little left in their estate. It can be accomplished after death by a bad will or beneficiary designation or by taking from an estate.

Inheritance theft might be committed by third parties, such as caregivers, neighbors, or advisers. It is also often committed by the testator’s own children or family members.
