Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

I am the administrator of my father's estate in Ohio.

I need assistance with what to do with my father's pension account.

He died in early february 2010. for march, his usual pension check came in.

as administrator, am I allowed to apply this check into his estate account to cover estate expenses?

when is the cut-off period after one dies can their pension checks be used to cover estate expenses?

are there any death benefit payments associated with pension benefits? and if so, how do I find that info?

thanks

You need to contact the pension plan administrator and inform them of the death. They willl let you know if you can keep the check, which will depend on the rules of the pension plan. They will also let you know if there are any other benefits that may be paid.
