When you are the executor of a will and it requires you to administer the estate of a loved one who has passed away, the responsibility can be overwhelming. It is daunting to say the least and a job in and of itself. It means that you must have an intimate knowledge of the deceased person’s desires as they are spelled out in his or her will.
