If the estate must go through probate, the probate court will legally confirm your appointment as executor with what are called letters testamentary (sometimes called surrogate certificates). These are certified documents that prove you have the legal authority to act on behalf of the estate.
Executors have a fiduciary duty when settling estates, meaning they must always act in the best interest of the decedents heirs. If they fail to do this, they can be removed. If the executor dies before the person who makes the will, a new one needs to be named.
How Do You Identify the Executor? The deceased persons will should name the executor. Many wills also name successor executors in case the first one cannot or will not perform the job. Once you locate the will, locating the executor is usually simple.
You name them in your will and when you die, they go to the probate court where they ask to be nominated as executor. If you did not leave a will, then anybody who has an interest in the estate can go and the probate court will choose the person who has the closest interest - usually a spouse, child or parent.
In many states, the fees that executors can charge are set by statute. In Pennsylvania, executor fees must be reasonable. They are always subject to court review. In general, many executors charge fees ranging from 1% to 5% of the estates value.
