Demystifying Probate and the Executor’s Role

When creating a last will and testament, one of your most important considerations is who to choose to serve as the executor of your estate.
As the name implies, the role of the executor is to execute the instructions that you provide in your will. To avoid any unnecessary complications in the settling of your affairs, take care to avoid ambiguous or unclear language in your will. If there are any doubts about your last wishes, the executor and beneficiaries may wish to consult with an estate planning lawyer to discuss next steps.
