Estate Trustee Disclosure Issues

Summary

Estate trustees in Ontario must disclose relevant information to ensure proper administration. Failure to do so can lead to legal consequences and impact the estates settlement. If a trustee does not disclose a disclaimer, it may misrepresent their status as a beneficiary, affecting financial decisions. Court intervention can be sought for disclosure and proper estate management. Always consult a qualified lawyer for specific legal advice.
