You may be nominated to serve as the executor of a person’s estate who has passed away pursuant to their Last Will & Testament. However, you have no authority to act as the executor until you file an application with the County Probate Court in which the decedent last resided to be appointed as the executor of his/her estate. Once your application has been approved by the County Probate Court, then and only then do you have authority and responsibilities as the executor of the estate.
