What Constitutes a Trustee-Beneficiary Relationship?

A trustee-beneficiary relationship is created by the language of a will or a trust agreement. The basic principle is that the will or trust document assigns the trustee the responsibility to manage the property of another for the benefit of the beneficiaries, as identified in the will or trust document.

Most importantly, the law imposes upon the trustee a fiduciary relationship, which means the trustee must act solely in the best interests of the beneficiary and not in the trustee’s own interests, and must be completely truthful in communications with the beneficiaries. Trustees are customarily corporate trustees, such as banks or trust companies.

Trustees also have the duty to prudently invest the trust property in order to maximize the beneficiaries’ interests in that property. When the trustee fails in this duty to prudently invest, or in some other manner breaches its fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries, the trustee breach and banking litigation attorneys at Price Waicukauski & Riley, LLC, in Indianapolis, Indiana, are there to prosecute these claims, seeking favorable results for our clients. We have been successful in several claims against trustees in the past for a variety of trust violations
