Let's
Choose Executors and Talk of Wills - by Joe Sinclair
Discovering
your have been named as Executor in a loved one's last
will may initially be regarded as an honour and fill you
with pride.
But
beware.
As
an executor, you have a duty to perform. If you
are not prepared for it, it can be overwhelming.
If
you don't want to pay for professional help, perhaps
because you feel obligated to protect the inheritance of
the residual beneficiary, you need to be aware of the
enormity of your task. You may be better advised
simply to purchase the adjoining plot to your loved one
in anticipation of a premature popping of your own
clogs.
This
is submitted as a cautionary tale for the senior
citizen.
