What is an Executor?

An executor is the person who will manage and settle your estate according to the will.  You should also consider naming a substitute executor in the event that the named executor is unable or unwilling to act as the executor of your estate.  By the wording of your will, you can require that your executor or substitute executor be required to post bond or other security, or you can waive this requirement, thereby saving expense to your estate.  Find out more by going to our Wills Forms.
