Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Our Services
Lawyers for Breach of Fiduciary Duty Serving Oakville, Milton, Georgetown & Throughout Southern Ontario
Fiduciaries have to act with honesty and loyalty. In the context of trusts and estates, fiduciaries include trustees, executors/estate trustees, attorneys under power of attorney, guardians for property, and personal representatives. Each of these individuals owes a duty to the estate, the incapable person, or the beneficiaries. When a fiduciary fails in this duty, he or she can be held accountable through a breach of fiduciary duty action.
At Sweatman Law Firm, we represent fiduciaries who are accused of breaching their duty as well as beneficiaries who are looking to hold a fiduciary accountable. From our offices in Oakville, Milton and Georgetown, we provide a wide range of estate and trust litigation services, and we are committed to helping each of our clients achieve their goals.
