Every person must nominate someone in their Will to 'execute' or carry out their wishes upon death.

Acting as the Executor of a Will is a time consuming and detailed job requiring a great deal of commitment and skill. There are many tasks, both mundane and complicated, which must be carried out in a timely and compassionate manner after the death of the person whose Will it is.

With modern day family and financial situations being as they are, personal Estates are frequently complicated and widespread - meaning that the services of a professional body are often required in some capacity.

As part of a comprehensive range, Just Wills can provide Executorship services through our sister company, the Universal Trust Corporation, allowing our clients to access a cost-effective and professional service.

Whoever you choose to fulfil this important role, please ensure that they are competent. Furthermore they will need to be able to be close at hand when required and will need to have the time to devote to distributing your Estate according to the exact instructions in the Will.

Once decided, ensure that they are able to familiarise themselves with the Will and know exactly where it is to be stored.
