And that depends how much you want to do on your own.

This conversations is key.
voice-verified
Everyone I talked to said the job is way harder than they expected, and they wish they'd been better prepared for it.

If you're the one writing the will, naming the executor, make sure you've talked to the executor in advance.
voice-verified
Show them where the list of your accounts are located, where the will is located.
voice-verified
Make sure they're the right person to do the job.
voice-verified
One lawyer told me if you're hesitating over your choice, that's probably not the right person.
voice-verified
So that makes a complication that you have to go to the court to get someone appointed to be executor.
voice-verified
Or in that case, they're called the administrator or representative for the estate.
voice-verified
But they have the same jobs.
voice-verified
One risk is that person might not know the family well enough, and that can cause more battles potentially.
voice-verified
It's also definitely more costly potentially.
voice-verified
Well, an executor has to act as a fiduciary.
voice-verified
That's like super high ethical standards.
voice-verified
And if executors breach that duty, if they've done something wrong, if they've stolen money, for example, the family members can sue.
voice-verified
And that can lead to messy, long fights and delayed inheritances.
voice-verified
Yeah, then they should be protected.
voice-verified
Well, having those conversations early on so there's no surprise, that would help.
voice-verified
And having a roadmap laid out, eliminating boxes of stuff to go through with having that list of your financial accounts and the passwords.
voice-verified
That kind of thing would really help.
