Is there a statute of limitations for an executor who is not fulfilling his duties?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
This question is a bit confusing. An executor who is not fulfilling his duties can be removed by filing a motion in the probate court handling the case detailing the reasons for the executor?s removal. The motion can be brought as long as the case has not been closed. If you are asking is there a statute that requires an executor to be removed for failure to perform his duties for some period, it works a little differently. The executor can not be removed for two years in order to give the executor time to get the estate together and figure out what to do. After that it is up to the beneficiaries to ask for removal if the executor is not working. If the question is whether a statute of limitations has passed to complain about the behavior, it depends on the specific behavior and the action you wish to take. For example, fraud actions can only be brought 2 years after the person becomes aware that they have been defrauded.

My mother passed away while in a class action lawsuit which has now been settled. I am administratrix. Will the estate have to pay tax on the settleme

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If the estate earns (not receives) over a certain amount, it will owe taxes.  In Texas an administrator is entitled to 5% of the amount the estate earns (not receives) and 5% of the amount the estate distributed.

The probate court will usually have an information packet to get started. A probate attorney can help with estate matters. The maximum amount a personal representative is entitled to in South Carolina is five percent.
