Common Mistakes Executors Make — and How to Avoid Them

Even with the best intentions, it’s easy for executors to run into trouble. Probate law can be complex, and small missteps can lead to big headaches.

Some common pitfalls include:

• Distributing assets too soon
• Overlooking debts or final taxes
• Failing to keep clear records
• Not communicating with heirs

The good news? These mistakes are avoidable — especially with the guidance of an experienced estate attorney.

Think of it this way: you wouldn’t climb a mountain without a map. Handling an estate shouldn’t be any different.
