Baton Rouge Fiduciary Litigation Lawyer

Fiduciary Litigation Attorney in Baton Rouge, LA

Fiduciary claims involve special duties imposed upon certain representatives. For example, a trustee owes fiduciary duties and duties of trust and loyalty to the beneficiaries of a trust. An executor of an estate owes certain duties to a deceased’s heir and those named in a will to receive assets (called legatees). A corporate officer owes a fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty to the company he or she works for, and business partners owe those same duties to one another.
