Description

Trustees are individuals or organizations that hold and manage assets or property on behalf of another party, often in a fiduciary capacity. In medical contexts, they may be involved in managing funds for healthcare services or research.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'fideicomisarios' may be used in various legal and financial contexts, not just medical. It's important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Common alternatives might include 'administradores' in some regions, but this should be avoided in formal medical settings.

Example Sentences

EN: The trustees of the hospital's foundation are responsible for allocating funds for new medical equipment.

ES: Los fideicomisarios de la fundación del hospital son responsables de asignar fondos para nuevo equipo médico.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'trustees' with 'administradores'; misinterpreting the fiduciary role; mixing up with similar legal terms.
