Massachusetts Law:
I am the executor (and a beneficiary) of my father's estate and it seems most of the work is out of the way. All that is left is to pay the remaining small bills, do an estate tax return, and pay out to those named on the will. I was wondering how difficult it would be for me to do some of the work myself from here on out. Specifically, I need to pay $5,000 to a legatee. My understanding is that this requires a "receipt and consent", which sounds like it could be done by me. What is it and how can I do it myself?
