What Is a Breach of Fiduciary Duty?

A fiduciary is legally obligated to act in the best interests of another party. This includes:

• Trustees managing a trust
• Executors handling an estate
• Powers of attorney making financial decisions
• Guardians responsible for a vulnerable individual
• Conservators overseeing finances
• Attorneys or advisors handling legal or financial matters

A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when this responsibility is abused, neglected, or misused—resulting in financial harm.

Common Signs of a Breach

• Mismanagement of assets or funds
• Self-dealing or personal gain at the beneficiary’s expense
• Failure to disclose conflicts of interest
• Neglecting responsibilities or ignoring beneficiary concerns
• Unauthorized use of estate or trust funds

If you're concerned about fiduciary misconduct, contact us today for immediate legal assistance.

Power of Attorney Abuse: A Growing Problem

Many families grant power of attorney to a trusted individual to manage finances or medical decisions. However, this authority can be abused—especially when an elderly or vulnerable individual is involved.

Examples of Power of Attorney Abuse

• Transferring assets to themselves instead of the rightful heirs
• Withholding financial information from family members
• Using funds for personal expenses
• Selling property without consent
