Damien Matthew Bosco
Answered by attorney Damien Matthew Bosco (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Damien Bosco, P.C.
Hello. My name is Damien. I am an attorney in New York City practicing in the New York City metropolitan area. All named co-trustees have a right to manage the trust and have information on the accounting of the trust. So, a trustee has a right to information on the management of the trust. Also, all trustees have a fiduciary duty toward the beneficiaries. Each of the trustees can manage the trust separately or jointly. Ideally, the trustees will act jointly or split tasks because acting separately can lead to confusion and overlap of tasks. If a trustee has not helped manage the trust and now wants information on the trust management or to help manage the trust it would be permissible. On the other hand, the other trustees could attempt to claim that the trustee who has not done anything over the years has breached the fiduciary duty for the failure to manage the trust. Still, unless a court order removes a co-trustee, a co-trustee has a right to information on the management of the trust. If you need any assistance, a New York Trusts & Estates Attorney could help you. If you wish to speak on the phone about it, you can call Damien Bosco, P.C. at (646) 452-7082 or email me at DamienBoscoEsq@gmail.com

What can we do if our lawyer is telling us to waive our mother rights to our late brother's estate or get another lawyer?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
You don't explain why the lawyer believes this is the best course of action. Is your mother not able to handle the job? Would inheriting the assets of his estate cause her harm in some way? Which rights does he want her to waive? All I can recommend is contacting another lawyer and asking for advice.

If my Poppa who has recently died, put his half of a property him and his sister own in his will,does that mean his sister will have to sell the house

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
The people to whom your father left his half of the property may continue to own it with his sister or they or his sister may bring a suit for partition.  Then either they will buy out the sister, the sister will buy them out or the house will be sold and the net proceeds split according to their ownership interests.
