A receiver may be held liable in a personal capacity only for which of the following actions?

1. Breach of fiduciary duty

2. Errors in judgment

3. Minor negligence

4. Unintentional acts

The correct answer is: Breach of fiduciary duty

A receiver may be held liable in a personal capacity for a breach of fiduciary duty. This means that if the receiver fails to act in the best interest of the entity or individuals they are representing, they may be held personally liable for any damages caused by their actions. Options B, C, and D are all types of actions that may not result in personal liability for a receiver. Errors in judgment are a common occurrence and may not result in personal liability unless they are done with malice or gross negligence. Minor negligence, while still a form of negligence, may not be considered severe enough to hold a receiver personally liable. And unintentional acts, while still potentially causing harm, would not hold the receiver personally liable as they did not have malicious intent.
