The personal representative is legally entitled to and responsible for the administration of the estate on behalf of the testator. They are the person who has the responsibility of managing the deceased person’s estate.
The responsibility involves resolving issues related to matters such as property, debts and possessions.
The role of executor or administrator is a position of responsibility. The person chosen should be thoroughly considered before being appointed.
