12.10.25

This presentation will address fiduciary issues that Texas courts resolved during the review period of summer of 2024 to summer of 2025. The presentation will review the following issues: whether a party has a right to jury trial in trust proceedings, what standards apply to the determination of whether a Texas court has personal jurisdiction over a trust beneficiary, whether there are fiduciary duties that arise from confidential relationships, a settlor’s duty to fund assets into a trust, a contingent beneficiary’s standing to sue a trustee, the rights of wards in guardianship proceedings to sign wills and trusts, the enforceability of choice-of-law clauses in trust documents, the burden of proof for breach of fiduciary duty claims against a trustee, arbitration rights in will disputes, and an estate beneficiary’s right to bring claims on behalf of the estate.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
