Trust Disputes

Trusts, in a broad sense, fall into three categories: -

  1. Express Trusts;
  2. Resulting / Implied Trusts; and
  3. Constructive Trusts. 

When you are faced with a trust dispute, such as the terms of the trust or whether a trust arises due to a legal implication then you will almost certainly need legal advice.
