What Is A Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?

A fiduciary relationship is one in which a person or business places their trust in another person to manage a financial transaction or account.

Should the fiduciary fail to act in the best interests of the beneficiary and cause financial harm, they have committed a breach of fiduciary duty.

A breach of this duty may also be claimed if the agent does not invest the beneficiary’s funds according to the agreed-upon terms or purposely misrepresents an investment. Fiduciary responsibility includes:

Duty of Reasonable Care: The fiduciary must demonstrate reasonable care in the performance of their appointed financial duties. If they act in a way that would go against what a reasonable person would have done, they may have breached their fiduciary duties.

Duty of Loyalty: The fiduciary may not put their own interests ahead of the interests of the beneficiary. The fiduciary must act for the benefit of the beneficiary, without making any decisions that would be disadvantageous for the beneficiary or for their own benefit.

Duty of Disclosure: The fiduciary must disclose all relevant account information to the beneficiary, account owner or investor. The agent also may not provide false information to influence the beneficiary’s decisions.
