Executor Perspective
Being named as an executor is an honour, but did you know the role can be overwhelming, stressful, complicated and come with personal risk? It's been likened to taking on a part-time job for several years and it has the potential to pit family against family with the executor caught in the middle. Simply put, it's not a job for the faint of heart.
If you've been appointed as an executor, you do have the option to appoint a corporate executor (or co-executor) to act or assist you with the process. A corporate executor has extensive experience, systems in place, teams of experts, often surprisingly good pricing and, one of the most important, impartiality; no one is going to accuse them of being selfish or unfair. However, the decision to appoint a corporate executor should be made early on because most serious problems are rooted in the earliest actions and decision-making.
