A Certified Executor Advisor is an accredited specialist professionally qualified to help and advise the trusted executor you appoint to carry out your wishes. There is an increasing number of friends and relatives being asked to fill the role of executor or training in this area.

What is the executor’s job?

The executor’s job is central to the estate settlement process – from arranging the funeral, to paying bills, to distributing estate assets. After someone dies, the executor makes sure that the wishes stated in the deceased person’s will are fulfilled.

What are the powers of the executor of a will?

It tells the executor to give the beneficiaries whatever is left in the estate after the debts, expenses, claims and taxes have been paid. It gives the executor certain legal and financial powers to manage the estate, including the power to keep or sell property in the estate, to invest cash, and to borrow money.
