What is 'THE LAW!' Governing 'Intestate probate' Administrators or Personal representatives duties and conduct?
What are they specifically liable for?
What must they be seen to be doing?
In an 'Intestate', probate (In that the was no 'Last will and Testament' found to be made and left by the deceased).
It's easy enough to find information on the hierarchy of benefactors and who might apply to be an Administrator (PR).
But what are the specific legal duties and rules that pertain to an Administrator (Not an Executor) but a Personal Representative in a Intestate probate (No Last Will and Testement found)
For example: Is an Administrator (PR) legally bound to communicate with a all benefactors?
I've read on this forum that it's the duty of an Administrator to see that all estate assets are to be sold for their 'BEST VALUE'. Is the any where on the Internet, or in any book of law, that confirms and reafirms, this statement?
I've also read on this forum that an estate has to be divided 'equally' between the benefactors in an Intestate probate. EQUALLY. I have to ask again, Is this from a 'book of law'? A stated law, outside of this forum.
When and where did these laws come to pass, and can anyone possibly point me to where I might find print, or conformation, of these laws outside of this forum? I'm not trying to be rude. I'd just like to see the specific rules that applied to an Administrator reaffirmed outside of the LegalBeagles forum.
I'd like to know specifically what laws apply to an Intestate probate Administrator (PR). What they can and can't do? What is expected of them. What the LAW states?
Again, for example: Do Administrators have to be transparent and communicate with all beneficiaries and other Administrators?
Is this written somewhere outside of this forum. As everywhere I've looked on the Internet, the rules pertaining to Intestate Administrators seem to be pretty vague and generalized. Are the rules of conduct to be followed that specifically apply to a Intestate probate Administrator. I'm not so much bothered about the rules of conduct that apply to an Estate Executor, (Who follows the decree of a Last Will and Testament) but I'm interested in the laws and rules of conduct of an 'Intestate probate Administrator'.
Also, Can 'benefactors' legally sell off chattels before they even become Administrators? Chattels that amount to many thousands of pounds, like antiques and gold coin collections for example. The money generated from these hasty sales, to be enjoyed singularily by the benefactor. Whilst no other estate benefactor is offered, or even see's a penny of any of the proceeds, at that pre 'Grant of Administration' moment in time. That being, before anything legal has been granted, issued, or drawn up?
Maybe they present a couple of receipts for hastily sold off items, as they enjoyed the money, long before anyone else even gets a glimpse? Is this Legal???
