Can a Personal Representative sign legal documents for an heir of an estate?

The Personal Representative acts in the best interests of the estate and its beneficiaries, and their actions must comply with the law and the terms of the will, if one exists. However, the Personal Representative should ensure that any decisions made are in consultation with the heirs and that they have the necessary legal authority to act on their behalf.
