A fiduciary owes a high standard of care and loyalty to beneficiaries. When that trust is breached, legal remedies may include damages, restitution, or injunctions.
Our guidance covers duties, breach elements, and available remedies, tailored to Aromas businesses and California law.
Breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a person in a fiduciary role acts in their own interest at the expense of those they owe trust to, such as executives, officers, trustees, or managers who misuse confidential information or misallocate assets.
Key elements include the existence of a fiduciary relationship, a breach of duties, damages resulting from the breach, and causation linking the breach to losses. The process may involve investigation, evidence gathering, negotiation, mediation, and litigation.
Below are defined terms commonly used in fiduciary duty cases and how they apply in Aromas and California law.
