When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
No they will not. You should hire a lawyer to advise you, as there are serious consequences to not complying with your duties, and "ignorance of the law" is not a defense. Which puts people in a very difficult spot, because how to administer an estate is not taught in schools or always subject to common sense. The Utah Probate Code sets forth your duties, and is available online. You should hire an attorney to advise you to at least a limited degree.

If the estate earns (not receives) over a certain amount, it will owe taxes.  In Texas an administrator is entitled to 5% of the amount the estate earns (not receives) and 5% of the amount the estate distributed.

After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
No. Termination of parental rights also terminates the child's right to inherit via Colorado's law of intestacy upon the death of the parent who's parental rights were terminated.
