Representation of Fiduciaries

 

A fiduciary is a person who has a legal relationship of trust with another, and has a strict legal duty to act in that person’s best interests. In Washington, a fiduciary may be a guardian, personal representative of an estate, trustee of a trust, or attorney in fact under a power of attorney.

Fiduciaries have many important responsibilities, which are often complex. Unfortunately, serving as a fiduciary can often evoke the old adage, “no good deed goes unpunished.” If you have agreed to act in a fiduciary capacity, our team at Three60 can help you understand your role and responsibilities and assist you in performing them in a way that will give you the sense of relief that comes from having an experienced team on your side.
