Choosing an Executor: What You Need to Know

It’s important to know that a Power of Attorney ceases upon death. This means that after a loved one passes, their appointed Power of Attorney can no longer make decisions or manage their affairs.

That’s why having an Executor named in your will is essential.

An executor is the personal representative of your estate, responsible for managing your assets, settling debts, and distributing your estate according to the terms of your will.

*Things to Consider When Choosing an Executor:

  1. Select someone who is competent and trustworthy.
  2. Clearly outline their role in your will.
  3. Have a backup executor named, as the appointed person has the right to decline the responsibility.

Choosing the right executor is a crucial step in ensuring your final wishes are honored and your loved ones are cared for. If you have questions or need guidance, we’re here to help.
