Co-Mingling Funds: A Major Breach of Trust 🚫

A trustee has a strict duty to keep trust assets separate from their personal finances. "Co-mingling"—mixing trust money with a personal bank account—is a serious breach of fiduciary duty, even if the trustee intends to "pay it back." At Casiano Law Firm, we work with forensic specialists to untangle accounts and hold trustees accountable for the misappropriation of your family’s wealth.

If you believe trust funds have been mixed with personal accounts, call 619-800-6820 to discuss your rights with Attorney Casiano.

Are Unreasonable Trustee Fees Draining the Estate? 📉

While California law allows for "reasonable" trustee compensation, high-value estates are often targeted by fiduciaries charging excessive fees for minimal work. Every dollar overcharged is a dollar taken directly from the beneficiaries. Casiano Law Firm reviews fee structures and aggressively challenges unreasonable compensation in the San Diego Probate Courts to ensure your inheritance remains intact.

To challenge a trustee’s unreasonable or excessive fees, call 619-800-6820 to consult with Attorney Casiano.

The Red Flag of the "Silent" Trustee 🚩

One of the most common signs of misconduct is a lack of communication. In California, beneficiaries have a legal right to be kept "reasonably informed" about the trust and its administration. If your trustee is ignoring requests for information or failing to provide a state-mandated accounting, they may be hiding mismanagement. Casiano Law Firm specializes in compelling transparency and forcing "silent" trustees to answer to the law.

If you are being denied information about your trust, call 619-800-6820 to discuss compelling a formal accounting with Attorney Casiano.

At Casiano Law Firm, we protect the integrity of your inheritance by holding trustees to the highest standards of professional conduct.
