Executors have a legal responsibility to act in the best interests of the estate beneficiaries and can be sued if they fail to do so.
Important things to know:
-Do not commingle your personal assets with the estate assets.
-Make sure to open a separate estate account to deposit assets of the estate and pay the bills of the estate.
-Before purchasing an item from the estate for yourself, make sure you are paying the fair market value of the item.
-Keep the lines of communication open with the beneficiaries so that they know and understand the process. Send regular updates.
Serving as an executor can be burdensome and complex. Often a lawyer is necessary to help you through the process. Don’t take the burden alone, contact Feldman Law Offices for the invaluable guidance you’ll need in the process.
