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

Answered by attorney Candace Kay Ladley (Unclaimed Profile)
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.

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

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.
