If someone owes taxes a dies what happen next?

This is a very interesting question. If someone dies and owes money to the IRS, the Executor (the person who takes responsibility for the deceased person's estate) is then responsible for settling the person's debts (using the deceased person's estate, not their own money or assets). The Executor is responsible for collecting and arranging for payment of debts of the estate and approving or disapproving creditors' claims. The money in the estate must be used to pay off the person's debt. If, however, the deceased person does not have any money in the esate to be able to pay off the tax liability, the debt DOES NOT transfer to the Executor UNLESS there was a joint liability with the deceased (if the Executor is the widow or widower of the deceased, and the two had filed joint returns, the liability will be assessed to the Executor). Otherwise, the Executor will need to contact the IRS, provide a death certificate and evidence that the estate is unable to pay off the liability. The debt should then be canceled once and for all. For information on claiming a refund for a deceased person, you'll need to file a Form 1310. You can visit the following link to the IRS website for more information: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc356.html If you'd like to contact me with more tax questions, visit my website: http://www.taxreliefsolutions.com Thanks!

Can executor appoint a representative?

Generally, an executor can appoint an "agent" who can act on their behalf. This is done when the executor lives some distance from where the estate is being probated or in another state. You should ask the attorney who is handling the estate. If the executor simply wants to appoint someone else to take over their duties that would not be approved by the court. In that case, the executor should decline and let the court appoint another person as executor.Generally, an executor can appoint an "agent" who can act on their behalf.
