Fiduciary FAQ’s

What is a fiduciary?

A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person to manage assets. A fiduciary owes to the other person the duties of good faith and trust. As the highest legal duty of one party to another, being a fiduciary requires being bound ethically to act in the other's best interests. *
