This means ensuring that the assets are distributed in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. However, to deal with the assets of the estate, the executor will need to obtain an authorisation of representation from the Supreme Court, unless it is a smaller estate. If the value of the estate is approximately A$113,000. The estate is referred to as a \"small\" estate and this figure is updated annually.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duties of the executor of the estate <\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">A will may direct that the estate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Executor. The executor of an estate can be an individual or a specialised entity, such as a law firm or a trustee company. The duties of an executor include: <\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identification and possible valuation of all assets<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use of legacy funds to identify and resolve outstanding debts<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submission of necessary tax declarations<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purchase of life insurance<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organise a funeral<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply for probate (must be 18 years of age or older).<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>Distribute assets as directed in the will. Any legal action to deal with or defend the estate. The executor usually works with legal experts, whose fees are paid from the estate's resources.<\/p><p>When a Will Has No Executor If there is no executor named in the will, the court will usually appoint someone called an administrator. This role is usually assumed by the primary beneficiary. The administrator assumes similar duties as the executor.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What is an authorisation of representation<\/span><\/p><p>This is a legal document provided by the Supreme Court of Victoria that authorises an executor or administrator to administer the assets of a deceased person. This authorisation confirms the individual's right to deal with components of the estate, including bank accounts, property and outstanding debts. The role of the Supreme Court in the administration of an estate The Supreme Court has the power to: Validate the legality of a will. Appoint executors or administrators. Oversee the administration of deceased estates. Challenges to a will must be resolved by the Supreme Court before the executor can proceed. The Court can also authorise the amendment or correction of obvious errors in a will. Types of Authorisations The Supreme Court issues four main types of authorisations for representation:<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probate - granted when the executor validates the most recent will.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters of Administration with Will - Issued if there is a valid will but no executor.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters of Administration - issued if there is no will or an existing will is invalid, usually in favour of the closest relatives.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited Powers of Attorney - provided when the scope of other powers of attorney is restricted, usually in relation to legal matters affecting the Will.
