A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in the best interests of another party. Breaches arise when loyalty, care, and good faith are violated, leading to harm or losses.
If you suspect a breach, a legal review can clarify options, timelines, and potential remedies such as damages, injunctions, or accountability measures.
