The terms executor and personal representative may seem interchangeable, but their usage differs based on the presence of a will. An executor is appointed specifically when a will exists, while a personal representative covers those who manage estates without a will. Understanding this distinction helps clarify the legal responsibilities and procedures involved in estate management in Maine.
A personal representative appointed by a court of the decedent's domicile has priority over all other persons except when the decedent's will nominates different persons to be personal representative in this State and in the state of domicile.
A personal representative (or legal personal representative), also known as the executor, is the individual chosen to administer the estate of a deceased person. They are designated as such by the decedent or by a court.
To decide whether probate is necessary for a particular estate, the individual's assets must be identified and valued. If the probate estate has a total value (value of probate assets minus any liens and encumbrances) of $40,000 or less and does not include any real property, then probate is not necessary.
Listed below are some of the non-probate assets available in Maine. Any property in a living trust. Life insurance policies. 401(k)s, IRAs, other retirement accounts. Securities in transfer-on-death accounts. Pay-on-death bank accounts. Joint tenancy real property.
A personal representative is under a duty to settle and distribute the estate of the decedent in ance with the terms of any probated and effective will and this Code, and as expeditiously and efficiently as is consistent with the best interests of the estate.
