<p>Beneficiaries to an estate or trust have certain rights and expectations that must be respected. At Walsh LLP in Calgary and Okotoks, our estate litigation lawyers represent beneficiaries when they wish to take legal action to assert their rights. If you are a beneficiary to an estate or trust and want legal advice about your options, we can help.</p>

<h2>Expectations Of Beneficiaries</h2>

<p>Trust administrators and estate executors have a responsibility to the trust or estate &mdash; ultimately, for the benefit of beneficiaries. As a result, beneficiaries have certain legitimate expectations of these individuals, including:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Estate or trust assets will be handled appropriately</li>
	<li>Estate or trust assets will not be misused for personal gain</li>
	<li>Distribution of assets will not be unreasonably delayed</li>
	<li>Requests for a <a href="/_page137" target="_self">full accounting</a> of assets and expenses will be complied with</li>
</ul>

<p>At Walsh LLP, we can help you gain a full understanding of your rights as a beneficiary. If taking legal action is appropriate, we will work with you to implement and advocate your position effectively and with skill. If you are a personal representative (executor or administrator) or a trustee and want to defend your actions while fulfilling that role, we can give you the legal defence you need.</p>
