A Law Firm For Life
The duties of an Executor are clear as a matter of law. However, it is often the case that an Executor fails to provide appropriate information or distribute the estate correctly (or at all).
At Irwin Mitchell we are experienced in claims concerning the duties of Executors and can assist and advise in obtaining information or distribution from the Executor.
Experts In Claims For And Against Executors And Trustees
Sometimes executors and administrators do not do their job properly as a result of which the estate suffers loss. In particular there may be a failure to collect in assets or realise them quickly or they may be sold at an undervalue. Alternatively there may be a failure correctly to identify beneficiaries or to interpret the Will or there may be unreasonable delay in distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
Executors and administrators owe duties to the estate and to its beneficiaries. If they breach those duties they may be personally liable for the consequences of either maladministration or misappropriation.
