Representing Estate Administrators
Every estate going through probate requires the appointment of an estate administrator, sometimes referred to as an executor or a personal representative. This individual is responsible for:
- Managing all aspects of the estate’s debt payments
- Providing an accounting to the court
- Distributing remaining funds to beneficiaries as outlined in the estate plan or according to state laws
