Seattle Trust Litigation Attorney
Effective Trust Litigation Strategies in Seattle, WA
At Ridgway Law Group, P.S., our Seattle trust litigation attorney advises beneficiaries and trustees about the best ways to resolve disputes concerning the establishment and administration of trusts.
A trust is a way of holding property in Washington that separates title to the asset from the benefit of owning it. For example, assets can be transferred into trust, with an appointed trustee responsible for managing those assets for the benefit of others. Depending on the terms of the trust, the trustee pays distributions to beneficiaries during their lifetimes, and makes final distribution of the trust assets upon death of one of the beneficiaries.
