Executors Advisory
An executor is a crucial figure in the estate planning process, entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring your final wishes are carried out efficiently and accurately.
The Executor's Role
An executor is typically named in a person's will and has several key roles and responsibilities:
Asset Management
Executors are responsible for managing the deceased person's assets, including real estate, financial accounts, and personal property.
Notification
The executor informs beneficiaries and creditors of the death, providing them with necessary documentation.
Debt Settlement
Outstanding debts and liabilities, including taxes, are settled from the estate's assets.
Probate
If necessary, the executor initiates the probate process, which involves validating the will and distributing assets according to its instructions.
Asset Valuation
Executors may need to appraise assets to determine their value for tax and distribution purposes.
Asset Distribution
The executor ensures that assets are distributed to beneficiaries as outlined in the will, following legal requirements.
