Personal representatives are legally responsible for the collection and inventory of a deceased person's assets, management of property, paying off debts, and the distribution of property in accordance with that person's will. When a person fails to perform his or her duties or acts in a fraudulent manner, you have the legal right to remove that individual from his or her duties as personal representative.
