The authority to act.
The counsel to protect it.
Fiducia Law Group represents families, named agents, and corporate fiduciaries in guardianship, estate, and fiduciary matters throughout Illinois — with compassion, precision, and deep experience in the law.
Whether you have just been named as someone's agent, are navigating a difficult administration, or need someone to intervene on behalf of a person who cannot speak for themselves — we are here, and we know this work.
Here for every stage of the matter.
You have been named as POA, trustee, or guardian. Now what?
Being named as someone's agent is an act of trust — and a legal responsibility most people have never held before. The role comes with duties, obligations, and potential liability that are not always obvious. We walk you through what your authority means, what the law requires, and how to carry out your responsibilities in a way that protects both your loved one and yourself.
Learn About Your RoleYou are already serving — and something has come up.
Administering an estate, managing a trust, or serving as guardian is rarely without complications. Assets are more complex than expected. Family members are asking questions. A creditor has made a claim. A court wants an accounting. We provide ongoing counsel to agents and fiduciaries at any crossroads — helping you understand your obligations and handle challenges before they become disputes.
Talk to Us About Your MatterA fiduciary has a legal obligation to act in the best interest of the person they serve. When that obligation is violated through their conduct, it is called a breach of fiduciary duty. It is actionable in Illinois courts. We handle these cases on both sides.
You believe a guardian, trustee, or agent is failing — or exploiting — someone in their care.
Financial exploitation. A guardian making decisions that serve themselves. An agent draining accounts. A trustee withholding distributions without justification. These are not family disagreements — they are breaches of a legal duty. The law provides a way to stop them. We represent family members who need to intervene on behalf of someone who cannot protect themselves.
Talk to Us About Your ConcernYou are serving faithfully — and someone is claiming you have breached your duty.
Not every accusation of breach is legitimate. Family members who disagree with your decisions sometimes escalate those disagreements into legal challenges — a removal petition, a surcharge claim, a court filing that puts your personal liability at risk. We defend guardians, trustees, and executors who are doing their job and being attacked for it.
Defend Your RoleFiducia Law Group exists because these matters deserve an attorney who takes them personally — and has the skill to handle them well.
