In order to serve as a professional fiduciary in California, it is necessary to become licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs Professional Fiduciary Bureau. No one who meets the definitions in Business and Professions Code Sections 6500-6592 of “professional fiduciary” can serve, unless exempt from licensing, in that capacity without being licensed. Further, no private professional fiduciary who is not licensed may be appointed by a Court as a conservator, guardian, or trustee.
