2

• In a will, an executor has a tremendously
  important job.

3
Different titles for Executor

• Executrix (if female)
• Trustee
• Personal representative

4
Duty of an Executor

• Regardless of the title used, the job of the
  executor is to make sure that the instructions
  set out in your will are followed.

5
Considerations in choosing an executor

• Location
• Relation
• Cooperation

6
Location

• It matters a great deal where the executor lives.
• If he or she lives near you and your assets, it
  will likely be relatively easy for your executor
  to act for your estate when necessary

7
Relation

• In Canada, an executor is typically someone who
  is closely related to you. 
• In most cases, spouses and adult children are the
  best choices for executors.
• For single people without children, siblings are
  often good choices.

8
Cooperation

• Ask your prospect the following questions
• Are you willing to take on the responsibility?
• Are willing to follow the instructions you have
  set out in your will?
• Can you get along with the other beneficiaries?

•  A cooperative person who will happily follow the
  provisions of your will is likely a good
  candidate.
