A fiduciary duty requires loyalty, care, and disclosure when managing someone else’s assets or interests.
A breach happens when a fiduciary acts against the beneficiary’s interests, leading to potential damages and remedies.

Essential elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages, followed by evidence gathering, negotiations, and formal proceedings as needed.
