An executor in Illinois handles your estate according to the instructions in your will. If there is no will, the probate court will appoint an administrator to pay the outstanding debts and transfer the remaining assets to your legal heirs.n 2011, in the important case of In Re: Estate of Weeks, the Illinois Appeals Court ruled that the state has no legal authority for an executor charging a percentage fee. Executors must submit the amount of their requested fees to the probate court for approval.
dividend-Investment & Finance Definition. A distribution, typically quarterly, of a corporationâs earnings to its shareholders. Dividends can be paid in cash or stock. Sometimes, if a company has had a particularly good year, a special year-end dividend may be paid. If a company failed to make a profit, likely no dividend is paid.
A dividend is a payment made by a corporation to its shareholders, usually as a distribution of profits. When a corporation earns a profit or surplus, the corporation is able to re-invest the profit in the business (called retained earnings) and pay a proportion of the profit as a dividend to shareholders. Distribution to shareholders may be in cash (usually a deposit into a bank account) or, if the corporation has a dividend reinvestment plan, the amount can be paid by the issue of further shares or share repurchase.
