https://lawyerfightsforyou.com/this-i... (Orlando, Florida) (Winter Haven, Florida) Attorney L. Reed Bloodworth, Managing Partner of Bloodworth Law, PLLC, discusses legal topics the law firm handles for clients across the state. Reed is a 2022 U.S. News & World Report Best Lawyer in Trusts & Estates Litigation.

In this video, Reed talks about why trustees get in trouble with beneficiaries and usually it’s because of a lack of communication between parties.

“Trouble is relative,” Reed said. “Is it something the trustee truly did wrong, or are the beneficiaries unhappy because the trustee isn’t doing exactly what they want?”

Reed explained that beneficiaries may not realize that trustees are required by Florida law to follow exactly what the trust says should be done.

When you’re talking about a trustee, the claims you see most often are a failure to provide an accounting, breach of fiduciary duty…it could be a myriad of things. But open communication can help to prevent many problems that come up.
