WHAT IT REQUIRES TO^SETTLK: AN ESTATE. i Few people are aware of the amount of work and responsibility, both on the Probate Judge and Ad ministrator, involved in administer ing an estate. No doubt this is due largely to the many changes which have been made in the laws govern ing the administration of estates in recent years with which the public is not familiar. Fully fifty per cent of the administrators, executors and guardians, in closing up cstati;*, de clare that if they had known their duties were going to be so numer ous and arduous they would have been glad had some one else assumed th<* duties, and for the enlightenment of the public this article is published. Under the present laws of the state governing the administration of estates the following steps are ne-: cessary: File original will with the Probata | -Court for probate; obtain certified! copies and authority for the execu tor to act. * Take possession of personal prop erty and transfer all cash balances; arrange with representative of stats tax commission for examination of contents of safe deposit boxes and release of the contents. Collect life insurance policies pay able to the estate, collect all rent, interest and dividends as same be come due. Arrange for formal appraisal of the real and personal property for accounting and inheritance tax. Make a preliminary review of dece dent's investments and take such ac tion as market conditions and terms of will and condition of estate re quire, and thus avoid possible loss to i the estate. y ; Keep proper records of all caslr and security transactions in proper books of account. Arrange for the publication of no tice to creditors. Deposit with authorities initial pay-, ment to cover inheritance tax thus taking advantage of 5 per cent dis- ; count granted by law. Prepare Federal and State Income tax returns on behalf of the decedent and of the estate during administra tion. Fxamine tax records for per sonal and real property tax assess ments and arrange for revision of amount of assessment if excessive. Institute inheritance tax proceed- . ings; procure from the various tax authorities consents to the transfer of registered securities. Make a careful review of estate . assets and dispose of alT speculative ; securities that have no place in an estate or trust fund. i Arrange for the distribution of property specifically bequeathed, the payment of cash legacies and the es tablishment of trust funds and the payment of income at regular inter-' vals to the relatives and friends eri titled to the income. Prepare Federal Estate Tax Return and pay the amount of tax; arrange1 for review of return. Prepare executor's court account ing; procure decree discharging ex ecutors and directing distribution of the assets remaining on hand. The above are only the principal | and unavoidable duties. There are many other minor ones, but these are sufficient to show that to admin-1 iater an estate, even though it be stf! small one, is not an easy undertaking. w. l. Mcdowell, Judge of Probate ffrmrian. S. LL, March 26th. 1925. ^ nr NKW (iASOUNK TAX \V?nt Into Kffect in South Carolina Tuesday o .Columbia, March 23?(Governor Mc I .cod signed the net .increasing the state gasoline tax to f> cents a gal lon and reducing motor vehicle license fees tonight. The increased tax on gasoline will become operative immediately, and gasoline prices throughout the state will be increased two cents a gallon tomorrow morning, it. wa* stated by Chairman. Waller (I. Query, of the state tax commission when he was informed of the governor's action. The reduction of motor vehicle li cense fees is retroactive to Januacy I of this'^oar. As a result of this feature of the new law the state highway department will moke re funds of from approximately 25 per cent to XI per cent to some 80,000 motorists who have already purchased I 1925 license plates. Three cents of each five cents tax on gasoline will continue to go to the state highway department for construction and maintenance of roads under the act of 1024, com monly callcd the "pay-as-you-go" law, with the other two cents going to the counties for use on roads not in the state highway system. The new scale of license fees pro vides that the license on automobiles weighing .2,000 pounds or less, each shall be $ti instead of $12 as under ?the 102.1 law, and that for each ad ditional 500 pounds of weight, the fee shall be increased by $11 instead -of by $(?. Chairman Query said tonight that the tax commission was prepared to scud?uili? notices to nil gasoline dealers immediately of the increase in the tax rate. If by any chance some of them should fail to add the additional two cents tax( he said in reply !t> a ' tjuention, they will have to pay taut amount out of their own! pockets. The act, as signed by (lovernor Aid/cod, was introduced in the House where it was known as the "Keith McMeekin Robinson bill, after its authors. In the Senate i.t was amend ed to its present form, which the House accepted. Pressure was brought upon CioVernor McLeod to veto the ?measure, and he was also urged to 'sign it. , Opponents of the measure declar ed it would reduce the income-of the Mtate highway department for this year by a sum ranging between $760, 000. "and $1,000,000. Foreseeing the possibility of the. proposal becoming law, the state highway commission, at. its March meeting, appointed a com m it tee to suggest plans for meeting the situation, and this committee is scheduled to make a report at the next regular meeing of the commission. A slowing up of the department's Hi year building program was seen as the inevitable result" of the. reduction in incomes. A New Yorker's Will The following is an excerpt from the will of a Wall Street man, which has been recently probated in the New York courts: "To my wife I leave her lover an<l the knowledge that I wasn't the fool she thought I was. "To my son, I leave the pleasure, ?of earning a living. For thirty-five years he has thought the pleasure was all mine. He was mistaken. "To my daughter, I leave $100,000. ?She will need it. The only piece of business her husband ever did was t J many her. "To my valet, I leave the clothes that he has been stealing from me regularly for the past 10 years. Also my fur coat he wore la5t winter when I was at Palm Beach. "To my chauffeur, 1 leave my cars. He almost ruined them, and I want him to have the satisfaction of finishing the job."?
