Estate executors are trusted individuals who handle the settlement of a deceased person’s estate. The duties they perform ensure that property and other elements of the estate are distributed according to both the provisions of any existing will and current probate law. As an estate executor, a person must perform specific fiduciary duties. If a person does not specify the person they want to act as executor prior to their death, and if no one else comes forward to volunteer for the duties, the court appoints an estate administrator to carry out the executor’s tasks.
Estate executors perform multiple roles for the deceased’s estate. These roles include but are not limited to:
• Deciding if probate is necessary given the estate status.
• Entering the will of the deceased into the probate court.
• Identifying, locating, securing and listing the assets and property of the deceased, including making insurance arrangements.
• Notifying insurance companies of the death and providing copies of the death certificate to initiate payments to beneficiaries.
• Notifying non-insurance agencies or companies of the death in writing and, if necessary, terminating accounts. This can include the Social Security Administration, Medicare, United States Postal Service, and the United States Department of Treasury.
• Notifying creditors and heirs of the death in writing, including a newspaper announcement.
• Examining the existence of
partnerships and similar agreements, and taking steps to meet clauses related to the estate within those agreements.
• Providing tax information for the estate to a qualified lawyer or accountant by filing deadlines, applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the estate, and paying all taxes owed on the estate.
• Creating a list of all debts against the estate, including the funeral costs, and submitting the list to the court.
• Paying all debts and dispersing property and assets to heirs and creditors according to the will of the deceased and current property law. In order to accomplish this, it may be necessary to sell the deceased’s property or assets.
• Appearing in court as a representative of the estate if proceedings are necessary regarding the deceased’s will.
• Establishing a bank account in the name of the estate for distribution of property and assets.
• Keeping records of all matters relating to the settling of the estate for possible review by the probate court, heirs and creditors.
• Responding to information requests by creditors, heirs, attorneys and officers of the court.
• Making arrangements for minor children of the deceased.
An executor has a fiduciary duty to the deceased. This means that they have to act in the best interest of the deceased at all times. This sometimes pits the executor against friends and family members of the deceased if the deceased’s wishes were contrary to what friends and family members want.
Fiduciary duty also means that the estate executor cannot benefit from his work beyond what is allowed in the deceased’s will or state estate executor fee law.
Estate executors also take on legal responsibilities when they handle an estate. For example, they can be held liable for any taxes not paid related to the estate. Additionally, being an executor takes considerable time and effort—it is not unusual for it to take a year or more to close an estate.
Executors may have to deal with irate family, friends and creditors of the deceased as well.
It is legal for an estate executor to charge a fee for their services, given the extent of responsibility the executor accepts. The state typically sets the fee, but roughly three percent of the value of the estate is standard. Courts have the right to determine what is reasonable compensation for acting as executor if state law does not specify a fee limit numerically. Individuals also may specify in their wills how much they want their executors to receive if they feel the executor deserves more than the state guideline.
Taking on the responsibility of being an executor is a lasting way to honor the final wishes of someone who has passed away. It’s also a lot of hard work. Be sure you are prepared to undertake these duties before agreeing to be the executor of an estate.

It is never easy for someone who has lost a member of the family, even when it comes at the end of a long life or a prolonged illness. The loss is always deeply felt and followed by a period of grief. Considering this, how can you help support a friend who has suffered such a loss? Here are seven simple suggestions.
1. Be there for your friend
Expressing your support by being physically present with your friend is perhaps the single most appreciated action you can take. Because of the sensitive nature of the situation, many friends fail at this most basic task. Be sure to devote some time to spend with your friend in the days and weeks following the loss.
2. Don’t talk; listen
Your friend is likely experiencing a number of thoughts regarding the deceased, and you can be their sounding board. It is appropriatefor you to offer the occasional comment in order to share personal recollections, express sympathy, and provide encouragement, but most of the time you should just listen to what they have to say, and empathize with the feelings they share.
Allow your friend to work through volatile emotions, freely express grief without fear of judgment, and tell you how the deceased had an impact on his or her life.
3. Provide childcare
If your friend has children, volunteer to take care of them for an afternoon or evening. Particularly if your friend has to make funeral arrangements to handle, your offer can allow them to focus on those responsibilities without the hassle of arranging for a babysitter.
4. Drop off a meal
Prepare a home cooked meal and deliver it to your friend. There are enough things demanding their attention—preparing meals doesn’t have to be one of them. However, don’t pressure your friend to invite you to stay to share the meal. Rather than intruding on family time, simply drop the meal off and leave.
5. Show up for visitation and for the funeral
A day or two prior to many funerals, there are times designated for visitation. Often called a wake, this is an opportunity for people togather to view the body and to express their condolences to the family. Show up for at least a few minutes during one of these times,and then do your best to attend the funeral itself. If you are unable to attend the funeral in person, at least check in periodically over the phone or online.
6. Offer to help out with the reception
If your friend is responsible for organizing a reception following the funeral, volunteer your services. There are a variety of ways you can help out. For instance, you can offer your home as a possible location. You could also help with preparations if the reception is to be held at another location. If sandwiches or sweets are desired, you could offer to prepare some. During the reception, you could assist as a host. Afterward, stick around to help clean up.
7. Check in
Grief doesn’t simply end after the funeral. In fact, after the funeral is when the journey through grief truly begins. Check in with your friend regularly after the death. Remember the anniversary of the loss and ask your friend how you can support them on this day. Offer your company, assistance and support through the months and years to come.
Allow your friend to relax and show honest emotions. Losing a loved one can be an intensely stressful and exhausting experience. Your friend should not have to put on a brave face or attend to your needs. Give them the space and freedom they need to process the loss, even if it extends well beyond the date of the funeral.
By being sensitive to your friend’s mental and emotional state—and by taking some responsibilities upon yourself—you can help remove some of the weight from their shoulders. Your support in these ways will go a long way toward helping your friend through this time of loss.

When you have a limited liability company that owns assets, such as investment
real estate, it provides you with personal liability protection but often doesn’t have any estate planning benefits. A living trust enables you to pass assets to your heirs immediately, outside of probate, but doesn’t provide any personal liability protection. To gain the liability protection of an LLC and the estate planning benefits of a living trust, consider making your living trust the sole member of your LLC.
When you put assets into a revocable living trust, the assets pass directly to your heirs when you die without going through probate court. This eliminates the delays associated with supervision from a probate judge and prevents public disclosure of the transaction. It’s also usually less expensive than probate court. While you’re alive, you can add assets to the trust, remove assets from the trust and control the current assets as the trustee.
When you form a company to hold assets, you must typically choose to organize it as a corporation, a partnership or a limited liability company. A corporation provides personal liability protection if someone wins a judgment against the company, but the government taxes you twice. A partnership eliminates double- taxation, but doesn’t provide personal liability protection to the general partner. A limited liability company, however, combines the liability protection of a corporation and the single taxation of a partnership in a single entity. When you die, however, your LLC ownership must pass to your heirs through a probate in many states.
While the rules regarding LLCs vary by state, most states don’t require more than one member to form an LLC. A member can be a person or an entity such as
a corporation, a partnership, another LLC, a foreign entity or a trust. The company’s operating agreement specifies who is responsible for making decisions and commitments on behalf of the company. If an LLC is member-managed, the members are responsible for running the company. It the company is managermanaged, the members appoint a manager with responsibility for company operations. An LLC can be manager-managed, with the single member of the LLC serving as the manager.
By making a living trust the sole member of an LLC,
the living trust becomes the owner of the company. If the company is member-managed, the trustee is responsible for running the company. If it’s managermanaged, the manager runs the company but the trustee can usually replace the manager at any time, depending on the provisions in the company’s operating agreement. When you die, company ownership passes to the trust’s beneficiaries without a probate, and your heirs also inherit personal liability protection as the new owners of the LLC and its assets. -
