General information
A fiduciary is someone who acts for and on behalf of another in a particular matter. A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care at either equity or law.
Fiduciaries are expected to be extremely loyal to the person to whom he or she owes the duty, the “principal.” The fiduciary must not put his or her personal interests before the duty to the principal, and must not profit from the position as fiduciary, unless the principal consents.
Fiduciary relationships are highlighted by good faith, loyalty, and trust, and the word itself originally comes from the Latin fides, meaning faith, and fiducia.

Living trusts
A living trust can be created to save money on taxes or set up long-term property management. A living trust is also known as a revocable trust, meaning it can be altered throughout the grantor’s lifetime.
Irrevocable trusts
Irrevocable trusts are terms under which a person’s assets are to be distributed, and those terms cannot be altered or amended. There are rare exceptions, where a court may change the terms due to particular circumstances.
Special needs trusts
These trusts accommodate beneficiaries who are disabled or mentally ill.
Charitable trusts
Charitable trusts are irrevocable trusts designed to benefit a philanthropic cause.
