Estate settled, years later found more assets
Four years after settling my father's estate, I was going thru old papers of his one last time to throw them out. I found a notice from his life insurance company stating that he was being given shares of the company. I verified that there are indeed some shares in his name. What can I do now? Am I still legally the the executrix? Thank you.

Yes--you technically are supposed to go back to the court that was involved and report what you found.

Re: Estate settled, years later found more assets
Actually, there was no probate court hearing. Who would I report to?
I filed the will with the county. All stocks and bank accounts were transferred to beneficiaries named on those accounts. Thanks |

You could call the clerk at the county and report it. We did that in my pearents estate after a similar situation, but then nobody actually seemed to do anything or care afterwards. But you should give the shares however the will provided.

Re: Estate settled, years later found more assets
According to the IRS: "If settlement is prolonged unreasonably, the estate will be treated as terminated for federal income tax purposes. From that point on, the income, deductions, and credits of the estate are considered those of the person or persons succeeding to the property of the estate."
What is considered an "unreasonable" amount of time by the IRS? |

That is not a provision as to legal ownership and not the law that really governs here frankly.
