Is Exec./Admin. of Estate Personally Reponsible For Debts?

[Ibrahim Hughes]

Is Exec./Admin. of Estate Personally Reponsible for debts when they don't handle their fiduciary responsibility and pay off creditors? What happens when an Exec. probates an estate but fails to take care of the debts of that estate? I imagine they get harrased by bill collectors but can they be held personally responsible for those debts? Generally speaking, of course.
