Managing Fiduciary Risk with Defensible Authority

Unclear Authority and Activation Delays Increase Liability

Your organization faces significant liability when taking over a file: was the previous agent acting legitimately? Did the principal actually lack capacity? The lack of standardized capacity assessment and POA validation creates ambiguity, exposing your firm to legal challenge, costly delays, and reputational risk when acting on a client’s behalf.

This uncertainty compromises your ability to act decisively, increases your legal risk, and hinders timely intervention for the client.
