How do I choose executors?

Updated October 27, 2026

Executors deal with your estate after you die: gathering what you own, paying debts and passing things on as your Will says. Choose people you trust who are organised and likely to be around. Many people choose one to four executors, and name a reserve in case someone cannot act. An executor can also benefit from your Will.
