What Does an Executor of a Will Actually Do?

In this Law Call segment, Attorney Perry Young explains the role and responsibilities of an executor of a will, also called a personal representative. He breaks down what happens during probate, including opening the estate, paying bills and debts, working with a lawyer, and distributing assets according to the will. He also explains what happens if there is no will and how state law decides who can serve as executor. The goal is simple: responsibly manage and close out a loved one’s final affairs.
