What is another term for an agent entrusted to act on someone's behalf?

  1. Employee

  2. Fiduciary

  3. Contractor

  4. Delegate

The correct answer is: Fiduciary

Another term for an agent entrusted to act on someone's behalf is a fiduciary. An employee (option A) could be considered an agent, but they are not necessarily entrusted to act on someone's behalf and may not have any fiduciary duties. A contractor (option C) may act on behalf of someone, but they are not typically entrusted with important tasks or decisions. And while a delegate (option D) could also act on someone's behalf, they may not have the same level of trust or responsibility as a fiduciary. Therefore, fiduciary is the most accurate term for this concept.
