fiduciary

fiduciary
fiduciary
one who is entrusted with duties on behalf of another. The law requires the highest level of good faith, loyalty and diligence of a fiduciary, higher than the common duty of care that we all owe one another. The debtor in possession in a Chapter 11 is a fiduciary for the creditors, owing loyalty to the creditors and not the shareholders of the debtor. (Bankruptcy in Brief)

Sometimes considered to be synonymous with the word Trustee. A fiduciary holds certain rights which he or she must exercise for the benefit of the beneficiary. (Dictionary of Canadian Bankruptcy Terms)
