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

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
That depends on the court. In larger counties (Dallas, Tarrant, Harris), where there are statutory probate courts, the courts have more staff and resources and the court administrator or other staff may provide instruction. It is ultimately your responsibility to know your duties and your attorney should be your first resource on that. Your first responsibility is going to be to file an Inventory and Appraisement of the estate, which is due 90 days from when you receive letters of administration.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
No, only his estate is liable for his debts. None of the family will be liable for the debts, unless someone co-signed on the debt.

Is there a form that allows one child to make decisions or a letter and does it need to be notarized?

That depends on the property that your father had at the time of death. There may be some issues you can address without a court order and some that may require court intervention. To answer your question, there are some things that you can execute to allow one child.
