The specifics depend on the relationship, contract terms, and California law governing the matter.
A breach occurs when a fiduciary acts contrary to the interests they owe. Common forms include self‑dealing, misappropriation, and failure to disclose conflicts.
Typical elements include a fiduciary relationship, breach, causation, and damages. The process often involves investigation, pleadings, discovery, negotiations, and, if needed, trial preparation.

A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in someone else’s best interests. The person in this role must show loyalty, care, and good faith. Breach occurs when those duties are violated.
Proving a breach generally requires showing there was a fiduciary relationship, a breach of duty, and resulting damages. Documentation, communications, and witness testimony are key pieces of evidence.
Remedies can include monetary damages, disgorgement of profits, injunctions, and sometimes restitution. The available remedies depend on the breach and the relationship involved.
