Personal Representative
The passing of a loved one is a difficult time. The process for timely administering one's estate can be especially difficult.
The personal representative, sometimes referred to as the "executor" or "executrix", is responsible for handling the probate process when there is a will present. In the absence of a will, the court will appoint someone to act as an administrator who will then be responsible for managing the estate.
The personal representative, works closely with the probate court and is generally required to request prior authorization before making decisions, such as selling real estate or any other business decisions, regarding the estate.
The roll of a personal representative can be a complicated process such as, identifying, valuing, and inventorying any assets of the deceased, managing payments due to the estate, deciphering who is entitled to assets as laid out in the will, giving legal notices to creditor, notifying applicable agencies of death, pay any debts and valid claims against the estate, and closing probate.
