Terminology in Wills

Executor - An executor is the person or persons named in a Will who is/are legally responsible for carrying out the deceased's final wishes by managing their estate.

Their duties include paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining money, property, and possessions to the beneficiaries, according to the instructions in the Will.

When choosing executors consider their age (are they likely to outlive you?), where they live (dealing with your belongings can be difficult from overseas) and how comfortable they are with paperwork ✔️
