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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In Lincoln County, the judge sends a very brief letter generally outlining the duties of the administrator. It barely scratches the surface. Do yourself, and the other heirs, a favor, and hire a lawyer to help you with the probate. There are five chapters of Oregon law dealing exclusively with probate, and many more statutes that affect or are affected by probate issues. After 12 years of doing probates, I still don't know it all. Doing the probate right, it is a clean and open process that ensures that the decedent's debts get paid and his or her will is carried out; doing it wrong, it can be a hopeless expensive mess. Do it right the first time.

What does it mean to go through probate?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Having or not having a Will is not determinative of whether probate is necessary. Depending upon the total value of all of your uncle's assets that do not have named beneficiaries, joint tenants or held in trust will determine if a probate is necessary. You may need a simple affidavit, to proceed with a set aside petition or you may in fact require a probate to administer your uncle's assets. You probably should consult with counsel about the specific facts of your case, or you may try to navigate the probate arena on your own and utilize the forms available at the self help center at Family Court.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
Probate is done in the state where the decedent is domiciled. Since he was temporarily staying in another state, that is not considered to be his domicile. Only assets in your father's name only will go through probate. For most married couples, they own everything in joint names, so upon the first to die, there is no probate estate. Therefore, the first question to ask is what assets did your have in his name only that had no beneficiary designation upon his death. This includes payable on death bank accounts and certificates of deposit, transfer on death for personal property that is titled such as boats and automobiles, and beneficiary deeds for real estate. If there are no assets, there is no probate. The next question is what is the value of the assets that go through probate. Most states have procedures for small estates. In Missouri, the small estate procedure is for net assets totaling less than $40,000. If the net assets total more than $40,000, then you need to do a full probate estate. In Missouri, you need to hire an attorney for probate. For estates greater than $40,000, the person probating the estate is called the personal representative. This person can also be called the executor or executrix. This person is named in the will. If there is no will, then this person applies for letters of administration and requests to be appointed personal representative. The court does not automatically do this. The attorney will prepare the necessary papers for you to sign and get appointed.
