VA Fiduciary Law

VA Fiduciary Law relates to the legal framework governing individuals appointed to manage the benefits and finances of veterans who are unable to do so due to mental incapacity or other reasons. A fiduciary is responsible for acting in the veteran's best interest, ensuring that their benefits are used appropriately for their care and needs. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) oversees this process to protect vulnerable veterans, requiring fiduciaries to be accountable, transparent, and attuned to the veteran's needs and preferences while adhering to legal standards.
