Defending And Initiating Fiduciary Litigation In Minnesota

A fiduciary is a position of trust. In the context of trusts and estates, a fiduciary is the person who acts on behalf of the trust or estate and includes personal representatives, trustees, guardians and conservators. Fiduciaries in these positions can be challenged and subject to removal proceedings.
