Executors get stuck in estate administration for many reasons – difficultly addressing assets, trouble with tax returns and court documents, disagreements with beneficiaries. Many executors have issues right from the start, with multiple unproductive trips to the courthouse and stacks of paperwork they don’t understand. Sometimes it’s just as simple as getting burned out or life getting in the way. What appears to be a straightforward process is full of potential financial and emotional pitfalls that can get you stuck and delay distribution.
Unfortunately, there are consequences if the estate administration drags on too long and delays often make matters worse. Relationships with beneficiaries can sour, which only makes the path forward more difficult. Because executors have duty to handle the estate administration in a timely matter, delays can also lead to legal trouble.
