What Is a Fiduciary Duty?
Estate representatives and trustees are known as fiduciaries. This means they have been given the trust and confidence of the creator of the estate to oversee his or her affairs honestly and with loyalty. A trustee or representative can breach this fiduciary duty by:
- Self dealing or embezzlement estate funds
- Mismanaging estate assets or making poor investment choices
- Committing fraud
- Failing to distribute funds in a reasonable amount of time
- Having conflicting interests regarding investments or sales of assets
At our firm, we represent beneficiaries, executors, trustees and representatives in estate litigation. No matter which side you are on, plaintiff or defense, we will conduct a thorough investigation in your claim. In some cases, we consult forensic accountants and other financial experts to help develop and build our clients' cases. We will help you pursue a just result in your case, whether through negotiation or at trial.
