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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
In answer to your question as to your duties when you become an administrator, I am assuming you were appointed by a court order, issued letters of administration; at that time you should have had to sign the letters of administration, filed back with the court and were issued a set of instructions duties of an administrator. As to your compensation, the percentage of the value of the estate you are entitled to, which is generally the same the lawyer receives, and both are set forth in the California Probate code.

Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
It is not clear if the deceased's spouse was alive at his death. If she was alive at his death and she was omitted from the trust for whatever reason she would have the right to elect to take against the estate but the election must be made rapidly. If an estate was opened in the probate division of the circuit court (if the trust was contained in a will this would be the case). That election would have to be made within six months of the grant of Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. If the spouse has since died at the very least an estate should be opened for her. The heirs of the wife need to hire counsel to protect their rights.
