In this article, our Saint Charles trust litigation attorneys describe two common causes of action in trust disputes. Tortious intereference with an expectency of an inheritance and fraudulent inducement both involve a third party committing a tortious or illegal act to cause the plaintiff to be deprived of an expected inheritance. Unlike suits that challenge the validity of a trust, these are tort claims against a third party defendant, seeking damages from the individual who committed the wrongful action.
In this article, our Saint Charles trust litigation attorneys explain the Illinois Dead-Man's Act.

We explain exactly who may make a statutory custodial claim, how courts decide how much to award the claimant, the priority of statutory custodial claims as compared to other claims against the estate, and the presumption against claims by non-related caregivers.
