We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

The executor or personal representative will contact each beneficiary. That is often done through written communication, such as a letter or email, providing details about the deceaseds passing, their role as executor, and the beneficiarys rights and entitlements.

What is a letter to the beneficiary of a will?

When you write a letter to beneficiaries at the start of the estate management process, you create a benchmark against which the final settlement of the estate can be judged. This letter can legally protect executors and demonstrate that they have complied with both the deceaseds wishes and the letter of the law.

After a person dies, beneficiaries are usually notified within three months once a probate court receives the persons will, or within 60 days if the person had a trust. Typically, the executor or trustee is responsible for notifying beneficiaries.

How are you notified if you are named in a will?

Beneficiaries are typically notified through formal communication from the executor of the estate. This usually involves a letter or email detailing their inheritance and any required actions, such as if they need to provide identification or sign documents.

Do executors have to notify beneficiaries?

Beneficiaries have a right to be notified that they are entitled to an inheritance from the estate. It is up to the executor to decide when is an appropriate time to inform the beneficiaries. Often executors will inform beneficiaries at the beginning of the administration of the estate.
