Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Idaho

Re: responsibilites of an executor

I strongly suggest you hire an attorney so that you can do the probate properly. However, should you want to do this yourself, I will give you the Idaho Code sections you should review that you must follow in performing your duties as PR. I assume that the Probate has already been filed. also to do this right you should probably file for an informal probate that can be done without court intervention. However, you must follow: 1. Go to Idaho Code section 15-3-705 setting forth the duties of the PR (personal representative). 2. 15-3-708 for duties re: supplementary inventory; 3. 15-3-709 re: possession of the estate; 4. 15-3-710 for the power to avoid transfers; 5. 15-3-711 for additional powers regarding ownership of the property; 6. 15-3-712 for improper exercise of and breach of your fiduciary duty; 7. 15-3-713 regarding conflicts of interest for the PR; 8. 15-3-714 re: protection of persons dealing with PRs; 9. 15-3-715 for transactions autorized for PRs; 10. 15-3-720 for expenses in estate litigation; 11. 15-3-721 re: the hiring of agents to help you in the administration of the estate; 12. 15-3-801(suppl) for the duty to notify creditors; IN SUMMARY, YOU CAN'T DO THIS YOURSELF. YOU NEED TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU AND THE ESTATE TO DO THIS PROPERLY. I give a free half hour consultation in my office teleph # 208-345-3817. DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS YOURSELF!!!!!
