Which of the following would NOT be considered a "fiduciary" relationship?

  1. Agent to seller

  2. Attorney to client

  3. Attorney-in-fact to principal

  4. Trustor to beneficiary

The correct answer is: Agent to seller

A fiduciary relationship is a legal relationship where one person (the fiduciary) is obligated to act in the best interests of another person (the beneficiary). In all the other options, there is a clear fiduciary duty present. However, in the case of an agent to a seller, there is no legal obligation for the agent to act in the seller's best interest, only to act as a representative and facilitate the sale. This is why A would not be considered a fiduciary relationship.
