What Is a Fiduciary Duty?
Fiduciary duty is the legal obligation that one party has to act in the best interest of another party. The party that owes the duty is known as the fiduciary, while the party the duty is owed to is called the principal or the beneficiary. Fiduciaries must act on the principals’ behalf and can’t benefit from the arrangement unless the principal gives consent.
Fiduciary duty applies to professionals who provide services or gives advice, like accountants, real estate brokers, and lawyers, as well as members of a limited partnership, corporation, directors, and shareholders. Professionals who fail to act in the best interests of their clients or consumers can be sued for breaching their fiduciary duty.
