What to Know Before Getting Started

YOU HAVE A LEGAL DUTY TO THE ESTATE

As executor, you have a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interests of the estate and its beneficiaries, not based on personal preference.

PROBATE MAY STILL BE REQUIRED EVEN WITH A WILL

A will does not avoid probate in most cases. It simply provides instructions the court oversees.

CREDITORS MUST BE PROPERLY NOTIFIED

State law requires formal notice to creditors and a waiting period before final distributions can occur.

YOU CANNOT DISTRIBUTE ASSETS IMMEDIATELY

Even when beneficiaries are eager, distributions must follow statutory timelines and ensure debts and taxes are addressed first.

YOU MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR MISTAKES

Improper distributions, missed deadlines, or unpaid taxes can result in personal financial exposure.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO NAVIGATE PROBATE ALONE

Legal guidance helps ensure compliance, reduce risk, and move the estate toward timely resolution.
