Trust Litigation Lawyers in Miami
Advocacy in Family Law-Related Trust Disputes for Clients in Coral Gables, FL
Trusts are created to protect assets, preserve family wealth, and ensure a person's wishes are carried out after death. Unfortunately, disputes can arise when family members disagree about the terms of a trust, beneficiaries question a trustee's actions, or significant assets are at stake.
Trust litigation is often triggered by unclear trust language, concerns about how a trust is being managed, conflicts between beneficiaries, blended family dynamics, or disagreements that arise after the death of a loved one. These disputes can quickly become emotional and financially significant, making experienced legal guidance essential. For cases in which these disputes are complicated even further by family dynamics that have shifted since being written, such as through divorce, clients will need a team that truly takes the time to understand the complexity of their unique circumstances.

Strategic Steps Hertz Sager Takes on Your Behalf
Navigating the Florida Trust Code requires a meticulous, business-intelligent approach to litigation. Our firm takes decisive action by:
- Conducting forensic audits. We partner with our elite network of referred forensic accountants and corporate specialists to trace trust assets, uncover hidden distributions, or validate complex asset allocations.
- Filing for emergency remedies. If an unprincipled trustee is actively draining funds, we move swiftly to secure temporary injunctions, freeze trust accounts, or petition the court for the immediate suspension and formal removal of the trustee.
- Managing trust issues in divorce and family law cases. Trust assets often become a point of contention during high-net-worth divorces, particularly when questions arise regarding alimony, child support, or the division of marital property. We help clients protect trust assets and ensure that courts properly distinguish between trust property and marital assets when making financial decisions.
