EXECUTOR UNABLE TO ASSIGN HOTKEY PRO

An executor representing the interest of a beneficiary is practicing law without a license. The exception is if the executor is defending his/her own actions or transaction.

EXECUTOR UNABLE TO ASSIGN HOTKEY PRO

A pro per may file a petition for probate pro-per, but the court appointed executor must have an attorney, or be an attorney. MoreДЄlthough I have seen courts allow pro-per executors to appear in court representing the interest of beneficiaries, it is not allowed in California. So that you do not lose any legal rights for failure to timely take appropriate action for your situation, you should promptly and personally consult with an attorney for legal advice. All legal proceedings involve deadlines and time limiting statutes. The communications on this website between us are not privileged or confidential. That relationship is established only by personal and direct consultation with me followed by the execution of a written attorney-client agreement signed by each of us. The exchange of information through this forum does not establish such a relationship. I provide legal advice during the course of an attorney-client relationship only. This forum does not allow for the discussion of that interplay. Legal advice must be based on the interplay between specific facts and the law.

Your obligations require you to employ only qualified persons. If you do, you open yourself up to liability. You cannot assign your duties to someone else through a POA. You are responsible for proper administration of the estate. If you need assistance, as nearly all executors do, employ a probate attorney.
