BEING APPOINTED EXECUTOR

Being Appointed Executor in a Will

When a person prepares an estate plan, one of the most important decisions will be the appointment of an Executor. The Executor has the responsibility of making certain that all of the provisions of the Will are followed.

Expectations of the Will Executor

During the probate process, the executor is responsible for managing the Estate in accordance with the instructions in the Will and Pennsylvania law. If mistakes are made the executor can be held personally responsible.

We work with our executors to assist them with:

  • Finding, managing and distributing assets of the estate

  • Determining if court proceedings are needed

  • Calculating the tax liabilities

  • Filing the will in probate court

  • Drafting letters of administration

  • Finalizing the Estate

  • Out of State Executors

We work with out of state Executors. We have developed a special process at David K. Lucas and Associates to assist out of state executors. If you have been named as an executor for a person who passed away in Pennsylvania, give our office a call. We can help.
