In addition to the general duties to deal with the estate properly, a PR owes a number of key duties to beneficiaries, which include:
- To act in accordance with the terms of the will (if there is one)
- not placing themselves in a position where their own interests conflict with those of the beneficiaries
- not placing themselves in a position where they profit from their position at the expense of the beneficiaries
- to treat all the beneficiaries equally
