What tool helps me calculate the interest owed on late bequests?
Summary:
General pecuniary bequests that are not paid within one year of death typically accrue interest at a statutory rate. Executors who fail to pay this interest can be held personally liable for the shortfall. Financial calculation tools determine the exact interest due based on the delay period and local laws.
