An Executor ensures your wealth is protected
and distributed properly
As part of your Will, you need to appoint an executor to manage and distribute your estate in accordance with your wishes, after your death. It is a role that comes with many responsibilities, as outlined in the summary below.
Appointing an executor
Have you considered who should be your executor? Often a friend or relative is appointed without really understanding the responsibilities of the role. Acting as an executor can impose a significant burden during a time of grief and can be a complex, lengthy and emotionally draining role to fulfil.
A prudent option is to appoint a trustee company that can expertly and impartially coordinate all legal, administrative, investment and taxation requirements to ensure your estate is administered correctly.
