Navigating Trust Litigation: Insights from the Tony Bennett Case

Nearly one year after Tony Bennett’s death, his children are embroiled in a trust dispute. While Tony Bennett’s fame and prominence are unique, the nature of this dispute is common. In the filing, Tony Bennett’s two daughters accused their brother, Danny—who served as Tony’s manager and also serves as the trustee of the Family Trust—of managing their father’s trust for Danny’s own benefit and that of his company. The action seeks an order for a full accounting and inventory of all property and assets so that they can be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Family Trust.

While much trust litigation revolves around the terms of a trust or its amendments, there are many situations that can lead to legal proceedings even when no one disputes the trust’s terms. For example, a beneficiary may question why certain assets were not included in the trust or removed from the trust before a loved one’s death. In addition, a beneficiary may question the actions taken by a trustee during their loved one’s life and after their death. This is particularly relevant in high-profile cases like Tony Bennett’s, where the management of substantial assets and legacy can be contentious.

In general, a trustee has a legal and fiduciary duty to uphold the terms and intentions of a trust. Under Wisconsin’s Trust Code, a trustee has a duty to keep “current beneficiaries and presumptive remainder beneficiaries who so request, reasonably informed about the administration of the trust.” Wis. Stat. § 701.0813(1). Such information may include copies of trust documents, details about the trustee, and a list of the trust’s assets, liabilities, receipts, disbursements, and the trustee’s compensation. If you are a trustee seeking to uphold or administer a trust, or a beneficiary concerned about a trustee’s actions, consulting with a knowledgeable attorney to evaluate your options is advisable.

Ex-Attorney Convicted of Stealing More Than $800,000 from Elderly Victim with Dementia

The United States Attorney’s Office from the Southern District of Ohio recently issued a press release that highlights how elderly individuals suffering from dementia may be vulnerable to financial abuse. The press release can be found here.

As the release explains, the attorney defrauded his client—an elderly woman in her 80s—over the course of seven years, between 2012 and 2019. The attorney’s law license was revoked in 2015. The attorney stole the funds using a myriad of methods, including utilizing his role as the victim’s power of attorney and status as a lawyer to transfer money to himself, to force the victim’s signature on a revocation of a family member’s separate power of attorney, and to cash out the victim’s U.S. Treasury Bonds and life insurance policies. The attorney was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay $882,502 in restitution.

This tragic story underscores the difficulties in flagging and investigating alleged financial abuse when the victim is not capable of protecting his or her own interests. It also rebuts the assumption that some courts and attorneys make in inheritance litigation that one only needs to look back a year or two prior to the victim’s death to evaluate whether elder financial abuse of the victim may have occurred. Here, the victim suffered dementia for at least seven years.

If you or a loved one suspects that an elderly person with dementia is being taken advantage of, you should consider reporting elder abuse. There may also be options to pursue an investigation through a civil action. For example, in Wisconsin, there are routes to seek court review of an agent’s conduct under a financial power of attorney.

The Recent Death of Lisa Marie Presley Leads to Brewing Trust Dispute

Inheritance Disputes are Common Even Among the Wealthy

An inheritance dispute appears to be brewing following the recent death of Elvis Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie. According to various news outlets, Lisa Marie appointed her mother, Priscilla Presley, and her then manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees of her trust in 1993. Following Lisa Marie’s death on January 12, 2023, Priscilla discovered an amendment to the trust purportedly signed in 2016 that replaced both Priscilla and Barry Siegel as co-trustees.

According to Priscilla, there are various reasons the 2016 amendment may be invalid. One of these reasons is because the purported trust amendment was not delivered to Priscilla during Lisa Marie’s lifetime as required under the terms of the original trust. Priscilla also raised concerns over the authenticity of the document and the signatures on the document itself.

Ultimately, a California court will be tasked with sorting through these issues that may pit a grandmother against her grandchildren.

Disputing an Amendment to a Trust in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Trust Code recognizes the right for the settlor of a revocable trust to amend that trust. The capacity necessary to amend a trust is the same as the capacity required to make a will. The Wisconsin Trust Code holds that the terms of a trust prevail over any provision of the Wisconsin Trust Code unless certain exceptions exist.

It is not clear on the face of the Wisconsin Trust Code how a Wisconsin court would treat the specific claim Priscilla Presley appears to be making – that the amendment is not valid because it was not delivered to her as required by the terms of the trust. The Wisconsin Trust Code states that a settlor “may revoke or amend a revocable trust” by “substantial compliance with the method provided in the terms of the trust.” Here, a Wisconsin court would have to review the terms of the Presley trust and determine whether the other components of the amendment without delivery to Priscilla amounted to “substantial compliance.”

If a trust does not provide a method to revoke or amend a trust, Wisconsin recognizes one may be able to revoke or amend a trust by referencing the trust or the trust property as part of a will or codicil or by “[a]ny other method manifesting clear and convincing evidence of the settlor’s intent.”

Challenging or seeking to uphold a trust amendment can be complicated and fact intensive. These issues also oftentimes deal with dynamic family relationships. If you are a trustee and a beneficiary is seeking to challenge a trust amendment or a beneficiary who has questions involving a trust amendment, it may be best to reach out to an attorney with experience handling matters under the Wisconsin Trust Code.
