A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in another party’s best interests. Breaches can involve self-dealing, misappropriation, or failing to disclose conflicts of interest.
In California, fiduciaries include corporate officers, trustees, agents, and managers who hold authority over assets or decisions that affect beneficiaries.
A fiduciary breach occurs when someone entrusted with another’s interests acts in a way that harms those interests or benefits themselves at the expense of the beneficiary.
Proving a breach requires showing the existence of a fiduciary duty, a breach of that duty, and resulting damages. The process often involves evidence collection, expert evaluation, and strategic planning for remedies.
Common terms used in fiduciary duty cases and brief explanations to help you navigate the claim.
An act or failure to act that violates the fiduciary’s duty to the beneficiary, causing harm or financial loss.
The obligation to act with loyalty and avoid conflicts of interest that would place personal gain ahead of the beneficiary’s interests.
Careful, informed decision-making and due diligence in managing another’s assets or interests.
Situations where personal interests could interfere with the fiduciary’s duties to the beneficiary.
Possible paths include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, depending on the facts, goals, and remedies sought.
