“The administration of the affairs of a loved one is a very sensitive and personal experience.” … Sandra Barnett (Rea & Sockhill's Paralegal - Estates Clerk)

The EXECUTOR is the person appointed by the deceased in their Will to carry out the terms of the Will. This is a very responsible position and carries with it legal responsibilities and obligations along with common sense.

The Administration of an estate will involve many varied tasks to be completed by the executor. This may involve …

• Obtaining a Grant of Probate of the Will. This is a process of applying to the court to confirm the Will is valid and that there are no claims against the assets of the estate.
• Dealing with bank requirements to withdraw money from a bank account.
• The selling or distributing of shares, real estate and other property.
• Investing funds for children until they are old enough to inherit it in their own right.
• Handling bequests and distribution in accordance with the Will.
• The payment of debts.
• Dealing with the tax office.
