Making Sense of Trustee, Guardianship and Executor Removal

Trustees, guardians and executors are fiduciaries, meaning they possess the authority to act on behalf of another’s estate.

The law imposes high duties of care, honesty, and loyalty on fiduciaries to serve in the best interest of the individuals they represent.

When executors, trustees and guardians fail to perform, or rather, “breach” their legal duties, interested parties may petition Iowa probate courts to remove and replace them with someone else.

Therefore, the sole means of remedying a fiduciary’s wrongdoing is to secure a favorable judgment in fiduciary litigation.

Convincing judges to remove executors, trustees, and guardians is what the estate litigators at Smith Law in Iowa do.

We can help you get rid of unethical and dishonest fiduciaries who negligently manage or settle your estate affairs and have them replaced with someone who will always work in your best interests.
