With over 16 years of experience as a trust and probate litigation lawyer, Mr. Baker understands how different kinds of trusts are structured, the financial issues and responsibilities involved, and how to identify suspicious or negligent activity.

When Negligent Trust Management Leads to Loss

• Change of trusteeship
• Tax filing and disputes
• Audits and disclosures
• Fiduciary responsibility
• Irrevocable / revocable trusts terms

Transferring Trusteeship
Unfortunately, not all trusts are managed by professionals. As a result, not all trustees understand how to properly manage a trust. When a non-professional trustee passes away, the estate plan they were responsible for often falls apart. At the Law Offices of Robert ML Baker III, we work closely with clients in helping them transfer trusteeship to an indemnified, competent professional. In cases where that is not possible and the trustee has passed away, our office pursues legal means for preserving an estate plan.
