Executors are often appointed without consultation, and find themselves in a role that, while straightforward on the surface, can quickly spiral into a quagmire of duties, rights, entitlements and consequences.

In this presentation, Hayley and Sarah will work through:

• the role of an executor and what to consider before accepting an appointment
• interpreting the Will and what to do when there is an issue
• communicating with beneficiaries and when to provide information and records
• balancing the various roles the executor might have and dealing with conflicts of interest
• the right of professional executors to a commission or remuneration.
