Frequently Asked Questions
What is trust litigation for nonprofits?
Nonprofit trust litigation refers to situations in which a nonprofit organization has been made the beneficiary of an estate and is due to receive a bequeathment or endowment; however, there are other parties who dispute the trust and spur legal proceedings. In some cases, these disputes are solved in mediation between the beneficiaries, but sometimes they go before a court.
What is our risk if we don’t hire lawyers?
If you don’t work with a lawyer who specializes in nonprofit trust litigation, you may risk losing some or all of the bequeathment that’s been left for you. Furthermore, trust administration may be a complicated process, especially when estate disputes erupt, and without experienced legal representatives you may be at a serious disadvantage in court proceedings.
How can we justify the expense of litigation? We’re not a billion-dollar nonprofit.
Gokal Law Group offers a free consultation with one of our attorneys to determine if nonprofit trust litigation makes sense for you. After reviewing your case and discussing your financial circumstances, we will advise you on next steps to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.
At what point should we get a legal team involved in the process?
You should hire legal counsel as soon as you’ve been informed that your non-profit will be a beneficiary of a trust or will. nonprofit trust attorneys will make sure that your organization is represented in all crucial proceedings and that the estate is being fairly administered.
