Handling a decedent's estate can be a difficult, thankless job.

Funeral costs and other expenses can quickly deplete the estate's liquid assets. Heirs may be scattered around the globe, unable or unwilling to help. If there are mortgage payments to make, things can get ugly. And getting anybody help to gather, clean, maintain or repair any of the property of the estate can be difficult. Plus there are often legal issues to address and court papers to file. It can be very stressful. The burden falls into the lap of whoever is identified as Executor or Personal Representative of the Estate.
