The main functions of the personal representative include the collection of the testator’s property, the management of that property, the payment of debts and expenses of the estate during the probate process, and distribution of the property pursuant to the testator’s will. There is often a lot of paperwork and forms, and often the personal representative seeks help from the paralegal.
