This article was produced in partnership with Hull & Hull LLP and WEL Partners
Acting as a fiduciary for a trust or estate comes with several important roles and responsibilities. The nature of these greatly depends on the specific kind of trust in question and the assets that are tied to it. It’s no doubt that there are many factors and varying details at play, at times resulting in grey, overlooked, or questionable areas - the most frequent one being what constitutes a conflict of interest.
However, ensuring that a fiduciary acts with integrity and that the exercise of discretion is appropriately carried out doesn’t need to be complicated.
