Questions/Answers
How do I choose an estateagent to sell my house?
I'm selling my house and need to choose an estate agent. I've never sold a house, so this is all new! How can I determine what sort of service I need, and how can I find a good quality estate agent? I'm in Manchester, England.
All estate agents are similar... Get at least three round to your house to value it - talk to them about where they would advertise, how they would handle viewings (do you want them to do it all, or do you want to show people round) - ask what their prices are. I bet all three say a different value for your house, don't just go with who says it's worth the most - ask if they've sold anything similar in your area to see what price was achieved. Look on www.rightmove.co.uk to see what else is up too. Ask if they would suggest any improvements you could/should make before putting your house on the market. Good luck.
How is an executor to anestate named when a personsspouse is deceased and theperson is childless?
My uncle died without leaving a will or naming an executor to his estate. His spouse is deceased and he had no children. It will fall on my aunts and uncles to sort things out. How do they go about naming an executor to his estate? Will we need a lawyer? He lived in Texas.
without a will someone who is an interested party applys with the probate court to act as administrator. That person will oversee liqudating the assets, paying the bills, distributing personal effects and distributing remaining funds according to the intestancy law.
How do I receive inheritanceon an estate in Pennsylvaniawhen there is an attorneyinvolved?
My husband's father died and he contracted with an estate attorney to file taxes for the estate. How are the proceeds distributed to my husband after the taxes are paid? Does the attorney present a check to my husband or does he go to the bank and withdraw the remainder AFTER the state tax is paid? My husband and his brother are the co-executor of the estate. The attorney is preparing the estate tax return for the estate. I suppose after that is done, my husband and his brother disperse the funds (to the state for tax and to the other heirs)?
Who is the estate's personal representative? Your husband? Only the personal representative should have access to the father's accounts. There really isn't enough information about the circumstances to answer your question. ADDED: If Your husband and his brother are legally the executors, that means that they have opened probate with the Orphans' Court. Before disbursing any money from the estate, they should be filing a formal accounting with the court for audit and approval by the court of the distribution. Or, less formally, preparing what is often known as a "family settlement agreement" in which the beneficiaries provide their consent to the distribution and agree that the personal representatives can be released form their fiduciary obligations.
