Fiduciary

This term usually denotes the executor or administrator of the estate of a decedent or the trustee of a trust. Since an estate or trust is a taxpayer, the fiduciary is charged with the responsibility of filing a return for the estate or trust. The term also includes a guardian, conservator, or receiver.
