As the executor of a will, what are my obligations concerning Unsecured Debts?

Jackie Robert Geller
Answered by attorney Jackie Robert Geller
Estate Planning lawyer at Jackie Robert Geller Attorney at Law
As executor, you have an obligation to be sure that all of the decedent's debts are paid before distributing assets to beneficiaries. Different states have different procedures regarding creditor's claims, so speak with a probate attorney in your area.

What can I do if I am executor to my mothers will but nothing has been done with the house?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You probably should consult with an attorney who will need to review the court file to determine what has and has not been done. Also it is important to confirm how title was held to the home when your mother died. There is a possibility that it is not a probate asset and is not subject to the Will.
