What does it mean to go through probate?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You may not need to go through probate. Contact a lawyer and see if your uncle's estate can be resolved without probate. If probate is needed, you should hire a lawyer, although you do not need to.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Answered by attorney Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
If your parents reside in a community property state, or in a marital property state, then your mother would likely be held responsible for any debts your father incurred during marriage. Note that there are rare exceptions to this rule, and your mother may wish to consult with an attorney regarding her options. On the other hand, your father's children would likely not be held responsible for his debts, unless they entered into some type of personal guarantee.

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

default-avatar
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.
