In this recorded webinar, David F. Johnson, lead writer for the Fiduciary Litigator blog, addresses fiduciary issues that Texas courts resolved during the review period of summer of 2024 to summer of 2025. The presentation reviews 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.
