Contentious Trust
Franckel Law has been involved in some of the major trust cases decided in Jersey in recent years. We act for trustees, beneficiaries, protectors, beneficiaries and settlors.
Advocate Franckel is also often appointed by the Court to represent the interests of minor and unborn beneficiaries.
We also regularly give advice and assistance to trustees (in particular) on how to address concerns and disputes before and without the need for proceedings.
The Trusts involved often involve overseas parties, very substantial sums and issues of international law.
