Cathi Nye | Owner & Founder

California Licensed Professional Fiduciary
 National Certified Guardian 

Traveler. Chef. Artist. Educator. Director. Survivor. Caretaker. Daughter. Wife. Mother. Grandmother. Native Californian, I grew up in a military family that traveled extensively. I received a BA in Art from San Jose State University and Masters in Special Education & Education Administration from CSU Northridge. I have worked in education  for 30 years and served on numerous Boards of Directors over the years, including the Regional Center, Autism Society,  ARC, local Women’s Clubs and a Charter school. 

I have been a proud Ventura County resident for 39 years. I’ve been married to Jim Nye for 45 years and am the parent of four adult children.

As a licensed fiduciary I provide compassionate, client-focused fiduciary services for individuals who need an advocate they can trust. My work is guided by ethics, professionalism, and a commitment to protecting each client and their estate. As the population of aging and special-needs individuals continues to grow, it has become clear that there is a critical need for professionals who genuinely prioritize their clients’ best interests. My mission is to provide thoughtful, ethical service to every client, with decisions guided by what best serves all involved.

Why Work With a Professional Fiduciary

As a California Licensed Professional Fiduciary, I assist individuals and families who need support managing complex financial, medical, and personal affairs. I serve as a neutral and trusted decision-maker when additional structure, oversight, or advocacy is needed.

My services are designed to reduce stress for families and ensure that clients receive consistent, ethical, and well-managed care. This includes overseeing financial responsibilities, coordinating with professionals, and helping navigate public benefits and community resources to ensure needs are met while maintaining eligibility for means-tested programs when applicable.

I am committed to acting with integrity, transparency, and professionalism in every case. Each client is treated with dignity and respect, and every decision is made in their best interest with careful attention to detail and long-term stability.
