Estate Administration

An executor has many duties such as:

♦  gathering or taking control of estate property

♦  lodging tax returns and finalising tax affairs

♦  notifying government departments and other organisations of the death

♦  advertising for any debts owing, and paying those debts out

♦  finalising any financial or business affairs

♦  paying out legacies

♦  distributing or transferring property according to the will

You must be very careful in your administration of the estate, because you can be held accountable for any losses.
