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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
The court will not send you anything that explains your duties as the administrator of the estate, or what you can expect in terms of compensation. In general, however, your duties are to identify and manage the estate assets, identify and pay the estate liabilities, handle any litigation or disputes in which the estate may be involved, distribute the estate according to the will (or according to the laws of intestacy if there is no will), and report to the court as needed regarding your activities as administrator. You also may not mix the estate assets with your own.

What does it mean to go through probate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Probate is a court ordered process for transferring the assets of a decedent to heirs and making sure creditors are paid. You could do a probate yourself, but given the notices that are required and the limits on what you are supposed to do it would be best to hire a lawyer. The process takes about 5 months if there are no complications. It starts with a petition that includes a death certificate and information about all heirs and beneficiaries. If there is no will, you will almost certainly have to post a bond to be appointed as personal representative. Once the petition is approved by the court, you would be appointed as personal representative and given authority to gather and manage the decedent's assets and pay creditors. You would have to try to locate and send notices to all creditors and file an inventory of the decedent's assets. At the end of the probate, if the court is satisfied that creditors have been paid and there are no unresolved objections, the court would allow the decedent's assets to be distributed to you. If the decedent's assets were not high in value, it is possible to do a simpler small estate affidavit procedure instead of probate.

Can a will be signed electronically in Texas?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Some lawyers are conducting drive-by signings.  Others are lobbying for Texas to permit remote (video) notarizations.  Note that this is different from using an electronic signature.
