Estate Executors

An estate executor is a person appointed to manage and settle a deceased person’s estate. Their responsibilities include locating and inventorying assets, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to the beneficiaries named in the will. The executor acts as a representative of the estate through the probate process, ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are carried out accurately and efficiently. They have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the estate and its beneficiaries. Essentially, the executor oversees the legal and financial tasks necessary to close the estate properly.
