Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Do you think that an executor, trustee, or agent under a power of attorney document is helping themselves to someone’s assets? This may very well be a breach of fiduciary duty, which gives rise to a legal claim for damages under Virginia law.
Breach of Trust
When a trustee does not do what the trustee is supposed to do, this may be considered a breach of trust under Virginia law, which gives rise to a claim for damages against the trustee.
Proceedings before Commissioners of Accounts
In Virginia, disputes involving executors, administrators, and other fiduciaries are sometimes intially heard before a Commissioner of Accounts rather than a court.
Guardianship and Conservatorship Proceedings
When a person is incapable of handling their own affairs, the difficult decision to have a court appoint a guardian or conservator for that person may be necessary.
