Who are we and what do we do?
- Q. I have become executor of will and have acquired my father's house. Can I let it go back to the bank with all the stuff
- A: Hello,
Thank you for the inquiry. Generally under SDCL 29A-3-703, a personal representative (aka executor) of an estate in South Dakota has a fiduciary duty to preserve the assets and act in the best interest of the estate. It is difficult to know how this may apply to your specific situation without knowing more details.
