In Alabama, the estate executor is known as a "personal representative". Executors for Alabama estates are entitled to reasonable compensation of up to 2.5% of assets received, and 2.5% of disbursements.
Executor's Deed: This may be used when a person dies testate (with a will). The estate's executor will dispose of the decedent's assets and an executor's deed may be used to convey the title or real property to the grantee.
In most states, an executor's deed must be signed by a witness and notarized. An executor's deed should be recorded in the real estate records of the county in which the property being conveyed is located.
During the administration of the estate those Executors who have obtained a Grant of Probate (more of which later) must act jointly. That is to say that they must all agree on a course of action and each sign any documents, etc. Clearly there may be problems if those appointed do not get on.
By law, the probate of an estate in Alabama will take at least six months. This period gives creditors and others with a claim on the estate time to receive notice that the estate is being probated and to submit a claim.
Generally, an executor has 12 months from the date of death to distribute the estate. This is known as 'the executor's year'. However, for various reasons the executor may have been delayed and has not distributed the estate within this time frame.
The court will force the executor to return the property to the estate or pay restitution to the beneficiaries of the estate.The executor cannot transfer estate property to himself because the property belongs to someone else unless he pays the full price for it.
Once the COURT appoints you as executor, you will record an affidavit of death of joint tenant to get your mother's name of the property. Then, when you get an order for final distribution, you will record a certified copy to get the property into the names of the beneficiaries under the will.
