What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.

Hello, does a backup trustee have any kind of fiduciary duty as a backup, or does it only arise once they move into the position of Trustee? What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

I don't know the term of "backup" trustee. If by that you mean "successor" trustee, then, no, they have no fiduciary duties until they are appointed and they accept the appointment.
