The Responsibilities of Probate Administration
After someone passes away, it is the duty of the estate executor or administrator
to facilitate the resolution of the estate on behalf of the deceased.
Executors are named by the deceased before they pass away (usually in
a will) and administrators are named by probate court when no executor
of the estate has been named.
Probate administration responsibilities include:
- Satisfying any outstanding tax obligations
- Handling creditor requests and debts
- Creating and inventory of the estate
- Bestowing inheritances to any beneficiaries
- Closing all of the deceased's financial accounts
- Preparing any remaining property/assets for sale or distribution
- Track any/all expenses related to the resolution of the estate
