What Is A “Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?”

Of the many allegations against Morrison is one we see frequently: the failure of someone to act in the best interests of another individual. This frequently comes up in the context of brokers, financial advisors and others in the financial services industry. It may also occur in the context of an executor to a deceased person’s estate.

A fiduciary duty refers to the obligation and responsibility to act in the utmost best interests of another person. The individual entrusted with this duty, within a fiduciary relationship, is known as a fiduciary.

Regular readers of our securities blog know that Morrison isn’t the first to allegedly breach that fiduciary duty and failing to act in the best interest of his clients. In these complaints, the clients allege that his actions all point to breaching his individual fiduciary duty to each of them. In one case, this led to significant financial losses.
