Equitable Remedies in Cases of a Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Breach of fiduciary duty can occur when a fiduciary such as an Executor, Administrator or Trustee obtains profit through self-dealing or causes losses through a breach of duty.  If this happens, you need an experienced lawyer who knows how to evaluate and recommend equitable remedies.

Breach of fiduciary duty can take many forms some of which are apparent and others which require examination of fiduciary accounts and transactions in detail.  Court proceedings may be necessary to remedy these breaches of duty or to remove a fiduciary from his or her position.  Breach of fiduciary duties remedies vary depending upon the situation.

In circumstances of a breach of fiduciary duty, a court may award one of the following remedies against a defaulting fiduciary: (a) a constructive trust; (b) an account of profits; or (c) equitable compensation or surcharge.
