FAQ

Personal representatives (i.e., executors and administrators of the estate) are required to provide beneficiaries and other interested parties (i.e., persons or entities with a financial stake in the estate) with financial information about the estate they are overseeing.

A Judge Must Remove the Executor. As an interested party, your attorney must present a compelling reason for removal. The Judge is not a detective. Your team must gather and present evidence to the Judge. Further, the Judge will only listen to evidence presented under the court's rules of evidence.

Can a Beneficiary Sue the Executor? An estate beneficiary has a right to sue the executor or administrator if they are not competently doing their job or are engaged in fiduciary misconduct.

Settling an uncontested estate takes anywhere from 9 months to 18 months.

You must file out a form and submit it to the register to make the claim official. If the claim is filed by a creditor with the court, their right to proceed is preserved against what is known as the distributee or who receives assets from the estate only if the real property is considered an estate asset.
