You
have been named the executor of someone’s estate, a very responsible
position, considered to be an honour. You want to do your best, but the
reality is that few of us really know where to start, what to do, or
what resources will be required. These
mounting questions can cause a lot of stress and anxiety… all at a time
when you are dealing with the loss of someone close. |

| A couple of real-life scenarios… "My name is Stephanie and I’m the executrix for my mother’s estate. A friend of mine said I had to hire a lawyer to settle the estate, but after paying their high hourly rates there won’t be any money left at the end. Do I have to hire a lawyer?" Stephanie C. "My name is Mary and I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. I’m the executor in our father’s Will, but I don’t want to do this. My siblings keep questioning everything I’m doing, and now they’ve even started arguing over the terms of the Will. I just want the estate to be settled so we can avoid any further conflict." Mary E. |
An executor is responsible for carrying out someone's final wishes.  It
means selling assets, paying outstanding debts, closing accounts,
distributing proceeds of the estate and dealing with family conflict –
all completed in a manner set out by law. We would like to help you
understand your responsibilities and duties as an executor.We start by explaining the process, requirements and timeline, so you know what to expect throughout the process.
