What to Expect in Managing Your Loved One’s Estate

When a loved one passes away, there are many concerns and actions involved to ensure that the assets and responsibilities of the remaining estate are cared for and that the wishes expressed in the will are carried out. The executor is expected to oversee caring for distribution of the estate, which is anything owned by the deceased at time of death. This can include cash, bank accounts and life insurance policies; market shares, money owed, real estate property, and personal possessions. If you are the person who has fiduciary responsibility for managing the estate and fulfilling the terms of the will, you will be managing several duties, including but not limited to:

• gathering the assets of the deceased and keeping them safe for final disbursement;
• probating the will if needed, and proper filing of the will;
• finding and contacting the beneficiaries;
• establishing an estate account to manage financial dealings;
• paying debts
• notifying proper authorities
• finalizing the estate for proper distribution to debtors and beneficiaries.
