Often, a party who acts for the benefit of another owes a fiduciary duty of care to that person or business. When this duty is breached, they may be held liable for any damages which result from their misconduct.
Common examples of actions considered a breach of duty include:
- Negligent management, including imprudent investments
- Willful acts of fraud or other illegal acts
- Failures to carry out orders of a will or trust
- Removing property from an estate
- Self-dealing
