The No Further Inquiry Rule applies to cases of self-dealing by a trustee. It makes all self-dealing transactions entered into by the trustee per se voidable by the beneficiaries. An attempt to void such transactions requires no proof that the transactions were unreasonable or harmful because a trustee must act for the sole benefit of the beneficiaries.
