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

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
If you have a lawyer then he/she should let you know what needs to be done and how much you are allowed to charge. Whether it makes sense to charge depends on the circumstances. While you are entitled to reasonable compensation, anything that you receive for services is taxable income. Anything you receive as an inheritance is likely tax free.

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.

What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
Since a Power of Attorney is only valid while she is alive, there is nothing you can do now to be placed on her Power of Attorney. That document has no validity upon her death.
