When a person passes, whether they have a will or not, their property is distributed to creditors and heirs. This is the Probate process that can vary by jurisdiction or by state. Assuming there was a will left by the deceased, an executor of the will is named and is tasked with making sure the terms of the will are carried out according to the instructions set forth by the deceased. Estate Planning Attorneys are a great resource for guiding the Executor through the entire probate process.

Duties of the Executor

It’s the job of the executor to inventory the deceased’s assets, inform creditors, if any, and notify those who’ve been named in the will. Any creditors are given a specific time frame to present what is owed them by the deceased. Debts are settled directly out the estate’s assets and remaining assets are divided according to the will’s instructions.

The duties of the executor can be challenging, and even stressful. They may involve filing estate taxes, locating persons named in the will and keeping track of the estate’s assets. A qualified Estate Planning Attorney can be of tremendous help in walking the executor through the Probate.
