One of the most important decisions you will make in writing your Will is who to appoint as the executor of your estate.
What is an Executor?
Your executor will be responsible for administering your estate and ensuring your instructions are carried out and properly implemented. The administration of an estate places many responsibilities on an executor and it can be complex and time consuming. In most cases a specialist needs to get involved as it requires expertise in law, accounting, investment and taxation.
We can act as your executor or as a co-executor, providing invaluable professional support to a family member.
It makes sense for several reasons:
Our charges for estate administration are based on time and attendance, not a percentage of the estate's value. We will meet with your loved ones, to discuss the steps involved, any costs and ensure they are fully informed at all times. We provide a caring environment and the advice necessary to make this process as easy as possible.
No one knows how much time they have left, being organised and planning for the future is important. This can help make your estate easier and less costly to wind up and you can ensure those closest to you are relieved of some of the burden that goes with this responsibility.
