Fiduciary Duty

In estates over $1,000,000, the role of the fiduciary is often filled by a lawyer, financial manager, or professional executor. A fiduciary must demonstrate a working knowledge of estate instruments including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney / authority. Fiduciaries are responsible to keep the beneficiaries informed of any relevant transactions and decisions.

The role of the fiduciary is to carry out the directions of the authorized estate instruments. Many estate disputes develop in response to the conduct or perceived conduct of the fiduciary. Beneficiaries often file legal challenges based on breach of fiduciary duty.

Negligent breach of fiduciary duty - failure to perform expected duties due to negligence or oversight. For example, forgetting to pay tuition for a beneficiary when specifically instructed to do so.

Intentional breach of fiduciary duty - conscious refusal to carry out the tasks required as fiduciary or any attempt to benefit yourself.
