How do I find out who the personal representative of an estate is?
When someone passes away, their estate may need to go through a legal process called probate. Probate is the process of settling the deceased person's debts and distributing their assets according to their will or state law. The person who is responsible for managing this process is called the personal representative of the estate.
If you want to find out who is serving as the personal representative of an estate, you can check with:
The probate court where the deceased person lived or owned property.
The attorney who drafted or filed the will for the deceased person.
The beneficiaries or heirs of the estate.
Finding out who is handling an estate can help you protect your rights and interests as a creditor, beneficiary, heir, or interested party. You can also communicate with them about any questions or concerns you have about how they are administering it.
If you need legal advice or assistance with finding out who is serving as a personal representative for an estate, you should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law.
