Contested Accountings in Trusts & Estates

Contested accountings are one of the most powerful and dangerous tools in trust and estate litigation. Whether acting for fiduciaries or beneficiaries, counsel must understand how courts scrutinize trustee and executor conduct, allocate the burden of proof, and impose remedies when accounts are challenged. This program with experienced estates litigator Kaan D. Alkin examines contested trust and estate accountings from a national, principles-based perspective. You will learn when accountings are required, how objections are framed, and how courts assess compensation claims, fiduciary conduct, record-keeping, delay, and more. The session also explores evidentiary challenges, available remedies, and the cost consequences that often drive settlement. Designed for trust and estate litigators across Canada, this program focuses on practical litigation strategy rather than provincial procedure.

Topics include:

• Tactical considerations for counsel
• Evidentiary pitfalls
• Interaction with related estate litigation

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enhance your understanding of strategy, risk, and remedies in this important area.
