A personal representative is appointed by a judge to oversee the administration of a probate estate.When a personal representative is nominated to the position in a will, he's commonly called the executor of the estate.
An executor is someone named in your will, or appointed by the court, who is given the legal responsibility to take care of any remaining financial obligations. Typical duties include: Distributing assets according to the will. Maintaining property until the estate is settled (e.g., upkeep of a house)
You can legally prepare your own will, it can even be handwritten. This type of will is known as a "holographic will." In Montana, your handwritten will must be signed by you. Your signature must also be located on any material provisions, and no witnesses will need to be present for the signing of your will.
A personal representative must be 18 or more years of age. A Montana personal representative need not be a resident of the same county or state as the deceased. For example, he or she may be a resident of Glendive and serve as a personal representative in Helena.
You can administer an estate even if the deceased died without a will or failed to specify an executor. If your relationship to the deceased doesn't make you the probate court's default choice for administrator, you'll need to get permission from the relatives ahead of you in the priority order.
