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

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Robert H. Glorch
Talk to your attorney. This should be an ongoing conversation. If you are not clear on your responsibilities, which can vary from case to case, then you should ask your attorney for more information. The Judge will not send you anything about your duties. Discuss with your attorney how your compensation should be computed. Generally speaking, I advise my administrator clients to keep a log of their time and what they did for the estate.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
To put it simply Someone, usually the primary heir, hires an attorney and files a probate action in the county where the deceased last resided. Then all beneficiaries are notified and the court appoints a personal representative After that all assets are gathered, debts paid and the rest distributed At times if real property is in multiple states multiple probates may be needed (one in each state where there is property) SO It does not happen automatically. Probate and attorneys can get expensive so the question is are there sufficient assets to worry about.. I advise you to gather all the information you can about your fathers assets and contact an attorney to discuss if it is worthwhile to file a probate action if your apparent step mom does not.
