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

Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
No they will not. You should hire a lawyer to advise you, as there are serious consequences to not complying with your duties, and "ignorance of the law" is not a defense. Which puts people in a very difficult spot, because how to administer an estate is not taught in schools or always subject to common sense. The Utah Probate Code sets forth your duties, and is available online. You should hire an attorney to advise you to at least a limited degree.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Answered by attorney Kelvin P. Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Kelvin Green
Generally the heirs don't decide if the house is sold unless somehow it is titled in all their names. If is a specific gift and the will requires it be transferred to all six, and one does not want to sell, that person can buy out the other 5. There of course is always a partition Acton. If the will does not specifically designate the house going to all six , the proper course of action is the personal representative of the estate has the property sold .

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

Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
The court will only give you instructions on whether or not you need to file an inventory. As executor/administrator you should hire an attorney to advise you on how to proceed. The will may say whether you are to be paid or not. Often times even when the will says the executor can be paid, if the executor is also an heir and it is family, they often waive the fee. If there is no will then you are likely eligible for a statutory fee of up to 5% of the value of the estate (ie. the proceeds that you collect from selling assets).
