Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You both should do your own living trust, if you each gave assets to put into the trust, as you are not married. If you were married, you could do a marital trust. Trust are more flexible than wills as to the future changes that occur in your life.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
Your lawyer is correct. However, if the bank will not accept the court order appointing you as executor, it's faster, cheaper, and easier to just provide them with a copy of the death certificate. Otherwise, you will have to haul them into probate court and have the court order them to recognize you as executor.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Vincent A. Liberti
Answered by attorney Vincent A. Liberti (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Halloran & Sage LLP
Good questions. I suggest asking the court directly, or checking the court's website for such information. The court clerks should be able to help you. They probably will forward some instructions to you, which may even include a booklet of duties and generally asked questions. As to the fee, that depends upon the state. Some have statutory limits, for others it is some "reasonable compensation" standard that the judge determines. I suggest asking the court clerks this questions too. In general it depends upon the work performed and the general costs to have such work done. For example, accounting or legal work would entail higher fees than merely administrative or secretarial work. Best course of action is to keep track of all your time, what you did, and all costs (with receipts) for reimbursement.
