Filing a lawsuit against a Florida trust<\/a> may be a complex task. Depending on the trust’s purpose and whether the complaint is made against the trustees, it may result in the unenforceability of a judgment against a trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, you will find out how to sue a trust in Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The primary element of a trust lawsuit is determining the reason to sue a trust. Each case’s circumstances are different, which requires a detailed assessment from an experienced attorney to identify the right strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is possible to sue the trust directly or sue the trustee responsible for the trust’s administration. Florida case law has different court decisions showing distinct judgments for trust lawsuits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases, Florida courts are unwilling to interfere in a trust arrangement to satisfy creditors’ claims and judgments against the trustor’s death. While there are cases in which creditors managed to collect from trust property<\/a> to satisfy unpaid debts, it is not the rule in Florida.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conversely, it is possible to find cases in which a Florida court pierced the protective veil of trust to permit the claimant to recover owed child support or alimony from the defendant’s assets held in trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With specific exceptions, Florida Statutes \u00a7736.0201(1) provides that “judicial proceedings concerning trusts shall be commenced by filing a complaint and shall be governed by the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n Florida Statutes \u00a7736.0201(2) specifies that “the court may intervene in the administration of a trust to the extent the court’s jurisdiction is invoked by an interested person or as provided by law.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n The reasons to request court intervention in a Florida trust vary. Under Florida Statutes \u00a7736.0201 (4), “a judicial proceeding involving a trust may relate to the validity, administration, or distribution of a trust, including proceedings to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Considering trust lawsuits based on breach of fiduciary duty<\/a> or breach of trust, the statutory statute of limitations is four years. If a trust accounting has provided a statutory limitation notice, the period allowed for claimants could be six months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the individual or entity filing a lawsuit against the trust wants to seek compensation or collect damages from the assets held in trust, the statute of limitations may vary depending on the reason behind the lawsuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Filing a lawsuit against a trust requires a strategic approach.
