Talk:Fiduciary

is the relationship between husband and wife fiduciaral ?

Overhaul

I have done away with the old text and introduced a new version of the article which is more comprehensive and accurate. I have stuck to the basic principles of fiduciary duties, this is because the law w/regard to equity - and fiduciary principles, especially - can differ greatly between Canada, UK, US, and Australia. --Charlemagne the Hammer 03:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity?

Who are Melanie Jizzle and Philip Fizzler? That MUST be a prank. I'm going to remove them.

I think the page may have been written by law students. It is common for lawyers to use fictious names to describe how a law operates. It appears as though the names are not vanity but force of habit. I would perhaps reword to use fiducary and person, etc.

I think that "force of habit" is being excessively charitable. Fictitious names are usually sensical. "Paul" is the Plaintiff, "Daniel" is the Defendant; "Tim" is the Testator, "Gene" is the Grantee; Vic usually winds up being the victim of something in Bar Exam problems, and Axel likely faces criminal liability as an accessory. See the article on computer programming names, where such names are identified as "essentially metasyntactical variables." But a full first and last name? There's no explanation. I vote for removal, replacing with, as suggested, "fiduciary" and "beneficiary."--64.80.112.170 14:15, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't make it beyond the opening sentence: "Fiduciary in common law jurisdictions, is a legal term used to describe a relationship of between [sic] a person who occupies a particular position of trust, power or responsibility with respect to the rights, property or interests..."

I cleaned up the intro somewhat. I think you should give the article another chance! 204.177.90.3 15:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
