Executors and administrators are <a href=\"http:\/\/legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com\/fiduciary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fiduciaries<\/a> obligated to represent the interests of persons interested in the estate, e.g., beneficiaries, creditors. Therefore, when an estate fiduciary is a party to a court proceeding, he or she appears on behalf of all of the persons interested in the estate. Under those circumstances, the fiduciary cannot proceed <em>pro se<\/em> because a non-attorney representing the interests of other persons would be considered to be practicing law without a license.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Matter of Van Patten<\/em>, New York County Surrogate\u2019s Court<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent case, the New York County Surrogate\u2019s Court addressed the issue of an estate fiduciary appearing <em>pro se<\/em>. In <em>Van Patten<\/em>, the non-attorney executor of an estate filed objections to a trustee\u2019s accounting. The court found that the executor could not proceed without the representation of an attorney. The court reasoned that the executor was representing all of the interested persons of the estate, not just herself, constituting the practice of law without a license. The executor argued that she was the only beneficiary of the estate. The court, nevertheless, held that she also had a responsibility to the creditors of the estate and represented their interests.<\/p>\n<p><em>Matter of Van Patten<\/em>, 1988-2966.2, NYLJ 1202643818563 (Surr., NY, Decided February 10, 2014)<\/p>\n<h2><em>Matter of Calabrese<\/em>, Kings County Surrogate\u2019s Court<\/h2>\n<p>In <em>Calabrese<\/em>, the non-attorney administrator of an estate filed a petition in the court asking that the restrictions in her letters of administration be removed to allow her to sell real property. The administrator filed the petition <em>pro se<\/em>. The court found that the administrator was \u201cmerely a nominal party\u201d to the litigation and the true parties were the estate\u2019s beneficiaries. Not being an attorney, the administrator could not represent the estate beneficiaries. The court ordered that the petition be dismissed unless the administrator hired an attorney.<\/p>\n<p><em>Matter of Calabrese<\/em>, File No. 3449\/B\/13 (unpublished decision)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nycprobate.com\/index.htm\">Rudolf J.
