An executor is a person appointed to carry out the terms of a will after someone passes away. Their main responsibilities include managing the deceased's estate, which involves collecting assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing any remaining property to the heirs according to the will. The executor ensures that the deceased's wishes are followed legally and efficiently. They may also work with lawyers and financial advisors to navigate complex legal requirements. Being an executor can be a significant responsibility, as it requires careful attention to detail and adherence to the law.
