What is an Executor?
An executor is the person who administers a person’s estate upon their death. An executor may also be known as an “estate representative” or an “administrator.”
The executor is appointed in advance of the death, through the will, and their job is to carry out the deceased person’s wishes based on instructions spelled out in the will.
They are responsible for making notifications, filing legal paperwork, closing accounts, paying taxes, ensuring that debts are paid, and distributing the assets (what a person owns) to the intended beneficiaries.
An administrator is appointed by the court to deal with an estate in the following situations:
- There is no will
- The will fails to appoint an executor
- The executor(s) named are unable to act
An administrator will take on the same responsibilities as an executor.
What if I don’t own a computer or have an email address?
Our service is designed for online access to ensure a seamless and efficient experience, which requires a computer, smartphone, or tablet, as well as an email address. If someone doesn’t have access to these tools, here are some options to consider: they can ask a family member or trusted individual who is helping with their loved one’s affairs to use their email address for the process. Many local libraries or community centres also offer free computer access and can assist with setting up an email account if needed.
