What Does an Executor Do?
The executor of an estate has an important job -- protecting a deceased person's property, winding up their financial affairs, and distributing inheritances. The law does not require an executor (also called personal representative) to be a legal or financial expert, but the executor must be patient, honest, and willing to deal with both the emotional issues that surround a death, plus a big pile of paperwork. Sound overwhelming? With the right help, it doesn't have to be.
