FAQ
A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties (person or group of persons). Typically, a fiduciary prudently takes care of money or other assets for another person.
Trustees, executors, administrators and other types of personal representatives are all fiduciaries.Executor - (Also called personal representative; a woman is sometimes called an executrix) An individual or trust company that settles the estate of a testator according to the terms of the will.
Fiduciary - An individual or bank or trust company that acts for the benefit of another. Trustees, executors, and personal representatives are all fiduciaries.
A fiduciary is a person who stands in a position of trust with you (or your estate after your death) and your beneficiaries. There are different types of fiduciaries depending on the context: an executor or executrix is named in a will; a trustee is named by a trust; an agent is appointed by a power of attorney.
An executor (male) or executrix (female) is the person named in a will to perform these duties. An administrator (male) or administratrix (female) is the person appointed by the probate court to complete these tasks when there is no will or no executor or executrix has been named in the will.
The difference between executor and administrator of estate in comes down to how the person came to be in charge of the estate. Someone who is appointed through the will of the person who died is called executor. Someone who is appointed because of any other reason is called administrator.
Yes an estate can have 2 administrators but it is not likely. If a names co-executors the Court may allow this, but if two people want to serve as co-administrators most Courts say "No" to the future conflicts between adminsitrators.
Pay the estate's taxes and debts. Distribute any assets to beneficiaries and dispose of any leftover property. Maintain the estate, including homes and property, until it can be distributed or sold.
You can do this by simply signing your name and putting your title of executor of the estate afterward. One example of an acceptable signature would be Signed by Jane Doe, Executor of the Estate of John Doe, Deceased. Of course, many institutions may not simply take your word that you are the executor of the estate.
