If you have been named an executor under a will, a personal representative of an estate, a trustee or successor trustee under a trust, a principal under a power of attorney or health care surrogate, or a guardian of a ward, you have been given a high level of responsibility. As a fiduciary, you can also be held accountable for mistakes.

At The Law Office of Thomas G. Tripp, I represent fiduciaries throughout the Pinellas County-St. Petersburg-Tampa Bay area. As your lawyer, I will review your rights and obligations, and advise you as you carry out your duties so you do not create liability for yourself.

I often represent people who have been named as a fiduciary in an estate-planning document that I have drafted. I also represent people who have been named as a fiduciary in will, trust or estate-planning document that has been drafted by another lawyer.
