When Trusted Agents Commit Errors and Fraud
A fiduciary is someone who has undertaken to act for and on behalf of another in a particular matter, creating a relationship of trust, confidence and loyalty. Trustees act on behalf of principals and beneficiaries, who are often reluctant to question trustees' actions and to sue for fraud and negligence when necessary because:
- They are often confused as to the trustee's responsibilities
- They often have a warm relationship with the trustee and hesitate to level accusations
The Kansas City-area law firm of Gregory Leyh, PC urges action when fiduciaries fail in their responsibilities. Why? Because fiduciaries have a duty to perform, and failing to perform is a violation of your trust and loyalty.
Examples of breach of fiduciary duty include:
- A company director failing to act in the interest of the company
- A firm's managing partner using company money
- A real estate agent, stockbroker, attorney, financial advisor, accountant, tax professional or other professional works for another's benefit, not yours
- The executor of an estate or the administrator of a trust steals assets or lies about expenses
Firm lawyer Gregory Leyh is an experienced trial lawyer who excels at analyzing complex litigation and suing for all available damages and compensation. A former university professor, Mr. Leyh has handled civil litigation cases ranging from two-party litigation to cases involving hundreds of plaintiffs, multiple defendants and multiple jurisdictions.
