Coffee with Claire #4- Commonly Asked Questions Blog Series
January 24, 2018
What does an Executor/Personal Representative in Probate Do?Writer’s note: This blog series is meant to act as responses to “quick” questions you may have for attorneys. Think of these answers as a “quick” answer you might receive over coffee from your friendly neighborhood attorney.
The Executor, or as we now call them, the Personal Representative (PR), is the person who administers the estate. They are usually appointed in a Will, or by statute if there is no Will.
After opening the Probate with the court, the PR receives Letters Testamentary or Letters of General Administration and can start to pay bills, place real estate on the market, open bank accounts, file taxes, and make distributions to the beneficiaries.
If you would like more information about what a PR does, please read THIS blog on the PR role.
If you have additional questions about the PR or probate in general, please contact Claire Tralle to set up a free initial telephone call.
