Executors or administrators can encounter problems when distributing an estate. It is important that these problems are dealt with. If not, the executor or administrator can end up being financially responsible.
Executors and administrators who improperly deal with an estate can be held personally liable to the estate. They may want legal advice to help work out any problems that arise. Reasonable legal fees can be charged to the estate. If the matter cannot be resolved, any interested party can apply to the court for direction. The court can make an order that settles the issue.
Our newest project is designed to provide legal information for Indigenous communities through a dedicated website, indigenous.plea.org, and print material. All is available free of charge.
