Q. What is an executor?

A. An Executor registers the death certificate, obtains the Grant of Probate, collects in all the assets, pays all the debts, and pays out to the beneficiaries. This is a responsible role and you should appoint someone you trust. You do not need to appoint a solicitor as the executor. Although they may need guidance in probate in the future.

Q. What is a Trustee?

A. A Trustee has the same role as an executor (as above) but then has the further responsibility of managing a trust, which may run for several years. For example, if money is left to children, it could remain in trust for them until they are 25 years old.

Q. Can Trustees and executors be the same people?

A. Yes they can

Q. How many should I appoint?

A. You only need one executor to act, although you should always appoint 'subs'. You need 2 trustees to act at any time together and you can have up to 4 acting together.

Q. What should I do if I fall out with someone who is in my will.?

A. Talk to me straight away, straight forward amendment. This would incur a small fee.
