Executor
An executor is the person you name in your will to carry out your wishes after you die. Their job is to gather your assets, pay any debts and taxes, and distribute what is left to your beneficiaries — exactly as your will says. Being an executor is a real responsibility that takes time. Choose someone organized, trustworthy, and willing — and always ask them before naming them.
In short
Your executor carries out your wishes after you die — managing your estate, paying debts, and distributing assets. Choose someone you trust and ask them first.
