| The office of the Public Fiduciary was established by the 1974 legislature to serve as a “Fiduciary of last resort” for individuals and decedents´ estate in need of guardianship, or conservatorship or public administration where there is no person or corporation qualified and willing to act in such capacity. Most of the clients of the Public Fiduciary are indigent or have limited assets. This results in the Public Fiduciary´s office having a caseload where there is either no money involved, the behavior of the parties involved are too difficult, or the circumstances are complex and/or bizarre. A FIDUCIARY is someone who accepts the responsibility for taking care of the needs or property of another person for the benefit of that person. The Fiduciary serves in a role of trust. The person serviced by the Fiduciary places trust in the Fiduciary to manage his or her affairs solely for his/her benefit. The element of trust becomes crucial when the person receiving services is frail, vulnerable and incapacitated.
