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

Estate Planning lawyer at Candace K. Ladley, Attorney at Law
Normally your attorney will provide you with instructions on your duties and liabilities as an executor or administrator. If you still have concerns you should contact your attorney directly and discuss them with him or her. In California, the executor or administrator receives the same fees as the attorney, which is a percentage of the gross estate on a sliding scale. If you perform extraordinary duties, such as running or selling a business or residence, you can have your attorney petition the court for extraordinary fees which are usually based on your knowledge, education and experience. Discuss this with your attorney In Washington state, the executor or administrator is entitled to reasonable fees which are based on your knowledge, education and experience and difficulty in handling the estate. Discuss this with your attorney.

Can I invoice the estate for my labor?

Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
As an executor, you are entitled to compensation by the probate code. Usually, it's five percent of non-liquid assets. Your attorney should be able to handle that for you.

Can the executor close a bank account?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
A power of attorney expires upon the death of the Principal (the person who nominated you as the agent). After the death of Principal, someone would need to be named as the Personal Representative ("executor") of the estate in order to have authority to gather and distribute the assets. I recommend you speak with a probate attorney who can assist you in determining your best course of action.
