Personal representatives of estates are fiduciaries who have a duty to settle the estate as expeditiously and with as little sacrifice of value as is reasonable under the circumstances.  When a fiduciary does not act with reasonable promptness to settle an estate, or when a fiduciary does not manage estate assets with care, a claim for breach of fiduciary duties may arise.  The attorneys at Gaslowitz Frankel have handled hundreds of cases involving claims for breach of fiduciary duties by executors and estate administrators.
