What are the duties of an executor?
The executor of an estate is the individual with the most responsibility during the probate process. The executor of an estate has an obligation to file court paperwork and to take care of many different executor duties during the probate process including providing notice of the probate process to heirs or beneficiaries, taking care of estate assets, and facilitating the transfer of the ownership of assets to the new owners of the property as determined by the last will and testament. Because an executor has many complicated, technical responsibilities during the probate process, it is a good idea for the executor of an estate to be represented by an experienced probate lawyer at Zimmer Law Firm.
