Fiduciary’s Conflict of Interest Renders Transactions Voidable

The First Department noted the effect of a fiduciary’s conflict of interest upon transactions entered into by the fiduciary:

When a fiduciary has a conflict of interest in entering a transaction and does not disclose that conflict to his/her principal, the transaction is “voidable at the option of” the principal … . Moreover, “an agent cannot bind his principal . . . where he is known to be acting for himself, or to have an adverse interest” … .  Genger v Genger, 2014 NY Slip Op 06248, 1st Dept 9-23-14
