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

Answered by attorney Candace Kay Ladley (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Candace K. Ladley, Attorney at Law
Normally your attorney will provide you with instructions on your duties and liabilities as an executor or administrator. If you still have concerns you should contact your attorney directly and discuss them with him or her. In California, the executor or administrator receives the same fees as the attorney, which is a percentage of the gross estate on a sliding scale. If you perform extraordinary duties, such as running or selling a business or residence, you can have your attorney petition the court for extraordinary fees which are usually based on your knowledge, education and experience. Discuss this with your attorney In Washington state, the executor or administrator is entitled to reasonable fees which are based on your knowledge, education and experience and difficulty in handling the estate. Discuss this with your attorney.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If your children are adults, you do not have to provide for them in your estate plan - you can leave your estate to whomever you choose; however, if you do not complete an estate plan during your lifetime, your children may be the statutory heirs of your estate. I recommend you consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your objectives.

If my husband were to pass away without a will, would I have to move from my home?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Although you would have occupancy rights in the homestead, it's a bad idea for him not to have a will.
