Trust litigation covers fights over how a trust is managed, interpreted, or distributed — including problems with a trustee who will not account, delays distributions, or appears to self-deal. David Dunlap Jones litigates trust disputes in Southern California courts from his Tustin office, representing beneficiaries and fiduciaries.
