The executor's job is much more involved than you might initially believe. At its simplest, the executor's role involves documenting assets of the deceased, paying the bills for the estate, and distributing assets to the rightful beneficiaries. These in themselves are not simple tasks, and there are many more to come.
While this isn't the most riveting read (to be expected), this book was helpful and easy to understand. Being appointed as executor is no joke! The examples provided were especially helpful. I would recommend this book to other people that find themselves in this situation for sure.
