Liability
As executor, you must pay from the estate any debts owed by the deceased. Debts could include overpayments by the Department of Work and Pensions. Debts can be claimed up to 6 months from the date of death, therefore you should retain, for 6 months, enough money to pay any debts which may become due. If you do not, you may run the risk of being held personally liable for the debt.
