All About Estate Executors

An estate executor – or, in Ontario, an estate trustee — is the person or party named in the last Will and testament of the deceased and who has the primary responsibility for the administration of the deceased’s estate.

The executor’s role is to act as the alter ego of the deceased; his or her fundamental job is to wind up the affairs of the deceased and distribute the estate to entitled beneficiaries. The duties of the executor can be onerous, and one should give consideration to the demands of time and effort before agreeing to undertake the responsibilities that come with this role.(1)
