A fiduciary duty exists when someone in a position of trust must act in another person’s best interests.
Elements often include duty, breach, causation, and damages.
In California, fiduciaries owe loyalty and care; a breach occurs when that duty is violated for personal gain or to the detriment of the beneficiary.
To pursue relief, you typically must prove duty, breach, causation, and damages, followed by discovery, pleadings, and negotiations, with the option of court resolution if needed.
