Executor’s obligations in Queensland generally

Section 52 of the Succession Act 1981 (Qld) sets out the main statutory duties and obligations for executors in Queensland. Primarily, executors are required to do the following:

• Collect and attend to the deceased’s real and personal estate which includes and administering it in accordance with the law;
• Provide a full inventory of the estate and render an account of their administration of the estate when required by the court;
• Deliver up the Grant of Probate or the Letters of Administration, when required by the court;
• Distribute the deceased’s estate, subject to the administration of the estate, as soon as practical; and
• Pay interest on any general legacies in the Will (at a rate of 8 per cent per annum).
