It is important to know who you can appoint as your Executor.
You need to choose someone you trust. Trusted and competent are the two main qualities that we look for. When we talk with you at Carter Notary who to appoint, we can help you think about people who are in your natural trusted circle. Commonly, if you’re married, you would choose your spouse. If you have adult children, they would usually be the second choice. We realize not everybody is married or perhaps their spouse isn’t always the right choice. We’ll look at other family members or friends that may be good choices.
There are a few questions you will want to ask yourself when appointing an Executor. Does this person have good ethics? Does this person do their own personal business well? Is this person organized and can they do the paperwork right? Can they manage the work of the Executor?
The job of an Executor encompasses a whole lot and it starts from the moment that you die. It’s really stepping in, managing, protecting your estate, and then fulfilling all the legal requirements like submitting documents to court.
