Answer: A private fiduciary is a person or firm that is hired as a neutral 3rd party executor. If a person wants a private fiduciary to be appointed, then a petition needs to be filed with the court to request that a private fiduciary or an individual be appointed. Any persons interested in the estate must be given notice and the matter needs to be set for a hearing. Any people who do not want the appointment may object to the appointment.
