Questions and answers
Who is normally responsible for the administration of an estate?
The beneficiaries of the estate are jointly responsible for the administration of the estate. However, the beneficiaries may choose to engage someone to assist them with the administration. If major disagreements arise between the beneficiaries, it is possible to apply for a court-appointed estate administrator who will then take over the administration of the estate.
How long does the administration of an estate normally take?
The time required for the administration of an estate varies and may depend on factors such as the assets and liabilities involved, whether there are disagreements between the beneficiaries of the estate, and when the estate has been finalized for tax purposes. In many cases, part of the inheritance can be distributed six to twelve months after the estate inventory has been completed, but it may also take longer. We always work towards the fastest and most efficient solution possible.
What challenges can arise in the administration of an estate?
Challenges may include complex tax matters and inheritance share calculations, disagreements between heirs, situations where the administration becomes unnecessarily burdensome for one or more beneficiaries of the estate, or uncertainties regarding a will.
