A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in the best interests of another party, often arising in business relationships, corporate governance, and trustee arrangements.
Breach occurs when duties are ignored, misused, or violated in a way that harms the other party or benefits the wrongdoer.
Fiduciary duties require loyalty, care, and good faith. A breach occurs when a person placed in a fiduciary role acts to the detriment of those they owe duties to.
The core elements are the existence of a fiduciary relationship, a breach of duty, causation, and damages. The process typically includes evaluation, evidence gathering, negotiations, and court or arbitration as needed.
