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

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
That depends on the court. In larger counties (Dallas, Tarrant, Harris), where there are statutory probate courts, the courts have more staff and resources and the court administrator or other staff may provide instruction. It is ultimately your responsibility to know your duties and your attorney should be your first resource on that. Your first responsibility is going to be to file an Inventory and Appraisement of the estate, which is due 90 days from when you receive letters of administration.

The terms of the trust control the distribution of the assets. If the spouse isn't included, he or she has no claim.

A good estate plan would involve both a living trust and a will as well as possible other possibilities to make sure that your wishes for each other are fulfilled. A consultation with a competent estate planning attorney would be recommended. I would be happy to assist you if you would like. Good luck!
