What is a fiduciary?

A fiduciary is an individual or an entity that is given legal responsibilities for the care of another person or an estate.

Who might need a professional fiduciary?

Some families will appoint a professional fiduciary to avoid burdening a loved one or to avoid potential conflict. Being a fiduciary can be time-consuming both in fulfilling the responsibilities involved as well as obtaining the knowledge and expertise needed to complete the duties required.

Duties of a Fiduciary

What are the duties of a fiduciary for these roles? Fiduciary duties can fall into two categories: the duty of loyalty and the duty of care. The services to provide those duties will vary depending on the role the fiduciary has been granted. They can include bill paying, record keeping, ensuring tax documentation, reconciling accounts, communicating and distributing funds to the beneficiaries, annual reviews, to name a few.
