A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in another person’s best interests with loyalty and care. Breach means failing to meet those duties, which can lead to damages or other relief.
In California, the statute of limitations for fiduciary-duty claims varies by context. Generally, claims may be brought within several years of discovery of the breach. Early consultation helps determine the exact deadline and preserve rights.
Damages can include compensatory damages for losses, and, in some cases, equitable relief such as injunctions or disgorgement of ill-gotten gains. Punitive damages are rare in fiduciary cases.
