Who is an Executor?
An executor, also known as an administrator, of an estate is an individual appointed, either by a court or the testator of a will to adequately administer the estate of a person who has passed away. Note that it is the main job of an executor to make sure that others follow all the wishes and instructions of the deceased.
In many cases, executors usually take care of various duties and roles, from getting the death certificate to setting up or arranging the funeral.
Examples of Executors
- Example 1: Real estate administrator
- Example 2: Personal representative
