Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

Your lawyer may be right, but is that getting you into the accounts? Provide a copy of the death certificate and don't waste money on the little stuff getting the lawyer involved.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In Lincoln County, the judge sends a very brief letter generally outlining the duties of the administrator. It barely scratches the surface. Do yourself, and the other heirs, a favor, and hire a lawyer to help you with the probate. There are five chapters of Oregon law dealing exclusively with probate, and many more statutes that affect or are affected by probate issues. After 12 years of doing probates, I still don't know it all. Doing the probate right, it is a clean and open process that ensures that the decedent's debts get paid and his or her will is carried out; doing it wrong, it can be a hopeless expensive mess. Do it right the first time.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
No, you do not have to leave your children anything. If you want to do that, you should name them in your Will and state specifically that you are not leaving them anything. You do not have to give a reason and it is better legally to not give a reason.
