It is not an automatic thing. They have to apply to the court just like anyone else does. It is common for the court to make such an appointment.
The living trust has a trustee, not an executor. The will is a separate process and you would be the executor.
The executor has no standing or duties while the testator is living. The person helping to create the will should evaluate their capacity.
You can't be the executor of an estate if the individual is still living. Property transfers are done the same as any other time.
NO. There is no executor until the testator has died and the executor has been appointed by the court.A living person can execute a Power of Attorney and appoint an agent to perform tasks for them while they are living. The agent should have an agreement in writing that explains duties and compensation. The agent can submit a claim against the estate for any payment still due once the testator has died.
The executor has no power while the person is living. Until they are appointed by the court, they have no power.
No.
Yes, that is very common. The spouse is typically the executor of the estate.
If there is no living spouse, the children inherit, after them the siblings. If there is no living spouse, children or siblings, parents inherit, after them first cousins, then second cousins, etc.
A trust doesn't have an executor. It has a trustee. The trustee manages the trust according to the terms of the trust.
An executor is responsible for managing a deceased person's estate and carrying out their wishes as outlined in their will. A power of attorney, on the other hand, is appointed by a living person to make decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so themselves. Both roles involve managing someone's affairs, but the executor's duties are typically focused on handling the deceased person's estate, while the power of attorney's responsibilities are more about making decisions for the living person.
You can't be executor of an estate if the individual is still living. However, the executor can make people move out of the house.
Your details are all mixed up. An executor handles the estate of a person who has died. Heirs are the individuals who are entitled to inherit the property of a person who has died. A Power of Attorney allows one person to act on behalf of another LIVING person. A trustee is the person with the power to act for a trust. Any fiduciary has the responsibility of not wasting any assets.
