Should we trust the trustee? Do trustees really steal from the trust? Maybe not, and yes, they do. On today's episode of I Know a Lawyer, I speak with Scott Rahn of RMO LLP about bad trustees and their bad actions, including theft. Scott is a top-notch trust & estate litigator who has seen the full range of bad trustee actions. In the episode, we discuss: Trustee's failure to provide information. (01:21) How a lawyer can help break the ice between trustees and beneficiaries. (03:27) Can a Court compel an accounting even if waived in the trust? (06:43) Two most common examples of bad trustee actions. (08:55) Trustee's fiduciary duty and acting on behalf of the beneficiaries. (11:40) Example of a truly bad trustee.
