| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Public Administrator protects the assets of a decedent by taking immediate charge of property when someone has died. In order to perform this function, the Public Administrator must act quickly to prevent waste, loss and theft to the property or assets belonging to decedent. This process includes traveling to property, secure dwellings as well as enforce code regarding public health related issues. Giving the Public Administrator access directly to an imprest cash account will ensure prompt action in order to safeguard assets of our residences.
