What is a Licensed Fiduciary

A fiduciary is someone entrusted to protect property, oversee matters and manage care when people become unable to do so for themselves.

Through the Arizona Supreme Court, Fiduciaries are bonded, background checked, fingerprinted and eventually become licensed. The licensing means a knowledge of the law that applies to caring for others and their finances. They are held to a high standard under the law and are accountable to their clients, their families and the courts. Fiduciaries are expected to be advocates for the clients they serve and help to protect them from abuse and exploitation. Many Licensed Fiduciaries are either former personal trust officers, medical professionals, or human services professionals.

How Services Start

Services are started by written agreement or by court appointment. Depending upon the types of services desired, Condit and Associates LLC may be named in any of the following documents to carry out services in the event the client becomes no longer able to do certain tasks they otherwise could do for themselves either temporarily, long term or upon death. 

Legal Documents signed by the client and expressly directing specific duties be performed by the licensed fiduciary firm are:

• Durable, Spring or Limited Power of Attorney for Financial purposes

• Trustee and Successor Trustee of a Trust
• Personal Representative under Last Will and Testament
• Engagement Letter is used when the licensed fiduciary is acting as Agent to the client, power of attorney, trustee or personal representative.

Court appointments may occur for different reasons. Some examples of why a court appointment is necessary are when a person is incapacitated, has assets that will dissipate if not protected, can no longer take care of themselves and is vulnerable. A court of law appointments an attorney to represent the alleged person in need of protection.

A court investigator is assigned to the case and consults with all interested parties, including the alleged protected person, reviews medical reports from physicians and any other professionals that may be part of the case as a witness. A court hearing occurs to determine if in fact the alleged protected person does need protection and is at risk.

Some types of Court Appointments are:

• Conservator – responsible for all financial matters outside of a Trust, if one exists.
• Guardian – responsible a person's welfare and well being.
• Trustee – responsible for all trust assets, trust administration and carrying out the terms and conditions of the trust agreement.
• Personal Representative – responsible for carrying out the terms and conditions of the decedent's Last Will and Testament.
