Communication: The #1 Way to Prevent Trust & Estate Disputes

In this episode of the CPMT Podcast, attorney Kevin O’Sullivan shares insights from years of experience resolving trust and estate disputes — and why communication is the single most effective way to prevent family conflict.

Kevin explains how breakdowns between trustees, executors, and beneficiaries often start small but quickly grow into full-blown disputes when communication stops. He also discusses:

Why communication is key to avoiding costly trust and estate litigation

The legal duty of trustees and executors to act in the best interest of beneficiaries

How family history and “old baggage” often fuel estate conflict

When it’s time to involve the court — and why it should always be a last resort

How lawyers help families move from conflict to closure

The difference between a family’s idea of fairness and what the law actually says

Kevin’s approach focuses on practical, compassionate resolution — helping families move forward and heal once the dispute is resolved.
