"What Is Fiduciary Negligence?
Fiduciary negligence is a type of professional malpractice in which a person fails to honor their fiduciary obligations and responsibilities. Fiduciaries are entrusted with certain responsibilities in regard to their clients. Fiduciary negligence occurs when the fiduciary, through negligence, causes damages to the party they are entrusted to. Understanding Fiduciary Negligence
Fiduciary Negligence occurs when a fiduciary fails to act on breaches of duty, specifically when their actions could have prevented the infractions or minimized the negative repercussions. A fiduciary is a person or entity that is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the financial accounts or assets of another party. Board members can act as fiduciaries on behalf of shareholders. Attorneys and trustees are examples of other professionals that often act in a fiduciary role. The fiduciary is required to abide by a variety of ethical and legal rules and guidelines.
Fiduciary negligence generally comes in the form of passive behavior, in that it is a failure to take action or take any steps to stop or address the actions of others. This is why this type of failure is called negligence, as opposed to acts of fraud or deception, where the fiduciary initiates or actively engages in behavior that breaches their ethical duty or code of conduct."
