As the Executor of an Estate we act on behalf of that estate. When appointed, we are responsible for finalizing the affairs, paying the debts and taxes, assembling and distributing the remaining assets and/or property to the persons or organizations outlined in the decedent’s estate plan or will.
The fiduciary as the Administrator of the Estate is a person appointed to act on behalf of the estate when a person dies without a will or living trust, or when a person dies with a will, but the named executor is unable to execute their duties, declines the appointment as executor, or is removed by the court.
