Continuation of a Business of a Decedent
A fiduciary does not have automatic authority under EPTL §11-1.1 to continue a business of a decedent, incur obligations and thus render the estate liable. However, courts have stated that a fiduciary has an inherent authority to temporarily continue a business for the limited exceptions of converting business assets to cash for the benefit of the estate.
