Estate Settlement Services. Plan now to support those you care about.

When the time comes to name an Executor for your estate, your obvious choices may include a family member or friend. The duties and responsibilities of an Executor, however, are substantial and can be time-consuming. In addition, the inherent legal liabilities can be overwhelming.

With Estate Settlement Services provided by Capital City Bank, you can select an experienced Executor to handle the duties of settling your estate, relieving family members and friends from the labor and liability involved in handling the settlement of your affairs.

Representing your estate and protecting your needs.

We realize that our responsibilities as your Executor include listening to and answering questions from those not familiar with estate settlement procedures. You and your beneficiaries can count on us to provide accurate explanations of all estate and court proceedings and be present every step of the way as special arrangements are made and carried out.

In addition, as your Executor, Capital City Bank will:

·         Report to the court. We present your will for the approval of the court, gather all the estate assets, and provide an inventory for the court.

·         Verify creditor claims. After publishing a notice to creditors concerning your passing, we determine the validity of, and pay, all creditor claims.

·         Settle estate matters. Once your estate’s income tax and estate tax returns are prepared and filed, we sell any property required for the efficient administration of the estate and appear before the court and taxing authorities to resolve any disputes, or for routine approval of estate matters.

·         Distribute assets. When these tasks are completed, we distribute assets to the beneficiaries of your estate.
