An estate administrator manages the affairs of someone who dies without a will, paying creditors, finding heirs, and distributing assets. They may need court permission and may have to post a bond. The process involves hiring professionals, identifying assets and debts, and compensating creditors before distributing assets to heirs.
An estate administrator is the person responsible for regulating the affairs of someone who has died without a will. His duties will vary according to the financial circumstances of the deceased. Typically you will be responsible for ensuring all creditors are paid from the proceeds of the inheritance, researching and contacting heirs and making sure they fail to complete the necessary paperwork to receive any inheritance they may be entitled to. The duties of an estate administrator are generally the same as those of an executor. The term executor is typically used to describe someone who is appointed to that role by the deceased in the deceased’s will. An estate administrator, on the other hand, is appointed by the court in cases where someone dies intestate.
Someone can become a trustee of an estate if a friend or family member dies without a will. The person may have to seek permission from an probate court to serve as an estate administrator, and a nomination or nomination application may be challenged by others who are in a relationship with the deceased. The court will decide on the administrator of an estate, taking into account the administrator’s relationship with the deceased as well as evidence of the administrator’s ability to perform the duties required of him. Because the estate administrator has access to the deceased’s financial accounts, local law may require that the administrator post a bond guaranteeing the integrity of the estate. An estate manager usually has to complete extensive documentation of your business, demonstrating to the court, heirs and any creditors that you are performing your duties properly and in accordance with the law.
The process for disposing of an estate will vary based on local law, but typically involves, at least in the initial stages, hiring an attorney and other professionals, such as an accountant or financial adviser who can advise the administrator on both on the law and on ways to maximize the value of the property. The administrator must then begin the search for assets, debts and heirs. Once the assets of the deceased have been identified, the administrator can proceed with the liquidation of the assets to compensate the creditors. After all obligations have been paid, including court costs, fees for any professional advisers, and administrator’s fees and expenses, the administrator can begin distributing the assets to the deceased’s heirs in accordance with the law.
