What should a fiduciary do if a daughter used her father’s funds improperly?

The appropriate course of action for a fiduciary when a daughter has improperly used her father's funds is to seek recovery and, if necessary, file an action in Superior Court. This option places emphasis on holding the daughter accountable for her actions and ensuring that the father's assets are protected and restored. When a fiduciary is aware of misappropriation or unauthorized transactions involving the ward's assets, it is crucial to take legal steps to recover those funds as part of their responsibility to the ward.

Filing an action in Superior Court allows for a formal legal process to adjudicate the matter, potentially leading to remedies such as restitution of the funds or other forms of legal relief. This route not only seeks to rectify the immediate issue but also establishes a legal precedent and safeguards against future misconduct. The fiduciary's obligation is to act in the best interest of the ward, which includes taking necessary legal actions to ensure their estate is not diminished unlawfully.

Other options, while they may seem relevant, either do not address the financial recovery or involve actions that may not be legally grounded in the context of fiduciary duties.
