BREACH OF
FIDUCIARY DUTY CLAIMS
Types of Fiduciary Liability Claims
Claims of a breach in fiduciary duty can arise in many different situations. It is crucial to have a legal expert in fiduciary breach claims representing your interests whenever a case like this occurs. Some of the most common claims of a fiduciary breach include the following:
● Challenges to Management Decisions: One type of claim of a breach in fiduciary duty is a challenge to management decisions. This type of claim often arises when the beneficiaries of a fiduciary relationship do not agree with the fiduciary's decision making. Some evidence of a breach in fiduciary duties includes negligent, reckless, or intentional decision-making choices that are not in the beneficiaries' best interest.
● Claims of Self-Dealing: Another potential claim for a fiduciary breach is self-dealing. Self-dealing occurs when a fiduciary benefits from legal or financial decisions intended for the beneficiaries. A fiduciary must always act in the best interest of the beneficiaries trusting in him or her. When the fiduciary benefits from the decision-making authority vested in him or her, a breach may arise.
● Conflicts of Interest: A breach in fiduciary duty can also occur where a conflict of interest arises. A conflict of interest is often claimed alongside a claim of self-dealing, but not always. Conflicts of interest can result in many ways, including when a fiduciary is in charge of two different parties with conflicting interests. When this occurs, a fiduciary may make a decision that is in the best interest of one party but not the other.
