What are the responsibilities of an Executor

The executor must perform a range of duties to ensure the will maker’s assets are distributed as per their wishes. It’s the executor’s responsibility to fulfil their requests.

You must always act in the best interests of the estate and beneficiaries and protect the assets of the estate until they are distributed.

If you fail to act in the best interests of an estate and its beneficiaries, your appointment as an executor may be challenged and you may bear personal responsibility for any losses or errors.
