The Role of the Executor: What to Expect

If you’ve been named an executor in someone’s will, you’re taking on an important — and often misunderstood — responsibility.

Your main duties may include:

• Filing the will with the probate court
• Notifying heirs and creditors
• Managing and inventorying assets
• Paying debts and taxes
• Distributing assets according to the will

It’s a role that carries both legal and personal weight. But you don’t have to do it alone. Working with an estate attorney can help you stay on track and avoid common missteps.

Being an executor is a final act of service — and with the right support, you can do it with confidence.
