Apportionment refers to the division of income, costs, or other values fairly between beneficiaries or across time periods. It ensures that those entitled to an estate receive a proportional share, even if income or expenses occur after death.
Legal Reference:
- Applies under Administration of Estates Act 1925, especially where assets generate income (e.g., rental property or investments).
- Executors must keep fair and transparent records of all income and expense apportionments.
