The Executor's Handbook: A Step-By-Step Guide to Settling an Estate for Personal Representatives, Administrators, and Beneficiaries - Hardcover

An executor is a person appointed in a will to carry out the instructions and wishes of the deceased. Often the tasks involved are cumbersome, complicated, and time-consuming. This Handbook outlines the duties and responsibilities of the executor and provides a walking tour of the procedures that settle an estate. There is no skimping on the basics here. The authors understand what a first-time executor needs to know and present that information in plain English. Coverage includes a thorough explanation of what an executor does, instruction on dealing with the deceased's assets and liabilities, and advice on administering probate. In addition to the competent, methodical text, they offer tables of state income tax rates, intestacy laws, state-by-state probate requirements, and executor's fees. Highly recommended for libraries with estate-planning collections.
