The Executor’s Job: What It Takes to Do It Right

March 19,2022
Hosts: Lou Pierro & Kristen Peck

Being the executor of an estate can be a time-consuming job, depending on the size and complexity of the estate. While a simple estate can take a few months and not require a huge time commitment, if there are problems, the job of managing the administration of a deceased individual’s estate can drag on for years.

On this Life Happens Radio show, attorneys Lou Pierro and Kristen Peck will tell you what’s involved, how to avoid the pitfalls, and how planning to avoid probate can greatly simplify the executor’s responsibilities.

While executors must adhere to deadlines set by the state, other factors can make the estate administration process go faster or slower. Lou and Kristen will walk you through the tasks, including handling of:

• Debts
• Locating beneficiaries
• Assets
• Contested Estates
• Consulting with an Attorney
• Planning that avoids Probate
