What does an Estate Administrator Do? The Estate Administrator has a significant role in executing the direction(s) given by the deceased individual (legally known as the testator). Some of the responsibilities may include, organizing the memorial service; filing an application for probate; dealing with banks and other financial institutions; filing tax returns, etc. The level of responsibility will depend on the assistance from the estate lawyer and accounting firms.
