Demi joins me today to share the role of your executor and how it has become far more complicated in recent years. She highlights how to search for, read, and understand the contents of a will and the responsibilities that are part of the executor's role. Demi reveals the best way to talk to beneficiaries and set realistic expectations, in particular to the timeline of settling the will and distributing assets. She also shares a story to portray why it is vital for an executor to safeguard assets, such as a home.
“You have to have the original will in order to submit it for probate.”- Demi McGoldrick
