Yes. Trustees have legal duties and can be held personally liable if they fail to follow the trust terms or California law. Common risks include improper distributions, poor recordkeeping, missed deadlines, or conflicts of interest. 

The good news is that most trustee liability is avoidable with proper legal guidance. We help trustees understand their obligations, comply with all requirements, document decisions, and administer trusts in a way that minimizes risk and protects them from disputes. 

With the right support, you can fulfill your role confidently and safely.
