A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in the best interests of another person or entity. This duty applies to trustees, corporate officers, and fiduciaries in various relationships. The duty is to act with loyalty, care, and good faith.
A fiduciary breach occurs when someone in a fiduciary position acts in self-interest, fails to disclose conflicts, or misuses confidential information. Such actions can harm beneficiaries and may trigger remedies under California law.
Remedies may include monetary damages, disgorgement of profits, injunctions to prevent further harm, and attorneys’ fees where permitted. The right path depends on the relationship and the harm caused.
California statutes and deadlines vary by claim and relationship. A consultation can help determine the applicable time limits and strategies.
