Vermont Motion to Appoint a Special Administrator

Administrators. If no living executors are named in the will, or if the executors named can't or don't wish to act, or there is no will, then one or more beneficiaries can apply to act as an administrator. A beneficiary is appointed an administrator once a 'grant of letters of administration with Will annexed' is given

An administrator can be appointed by: the board of directors of a company taking a majority decision. the shareholders of a company at a general meeting. a qualifying floating charge holder meaning a debenture holder, usually a bank.

8465. (a) The court may appoint as administrator a person nominated by a person otherwise entitled to appointment or by the guardian or conservator of the estate of a person otherwise entitled to appointment. The nomination shall be made in writing and filed with the court.

How is an Administrator of an estate appointed? Letters of Administration can be made by the Supreme Court where a person dies without leaving a Will or without an executor. Once granted, the appointed person will be the Administrator of the estate, just like an Executor appointed in a Will.

First, the person who makes the will, also known as the testator, can name an individual to be the executor. The testator would stipulate this appointment in the will. Once the testator passes away, the named executor may have to submit a petition to the appropriate probate court to be confirmed as the executor.

In Vermont, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you own -- real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (it's similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a successor trustee).

No, in Vermont, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Vermont allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.

A Special administrator is a court-appointed person who administrates a court-defined part of an estate during probate.A special administrator can also oversee an entire estate, albeit for a limited time (in case of emergency).

An administrator is appointed as personal representative where the decedent died intes- tate (without a will).A special administrator is appointed where immediate action is required with regard to the estate but no permanent personal representative has yet been appointed. Prob 8540(a).
