Your executors are those people who you appoint under your will to manage your estate once you're gone. They will collect in your assets, pay off your debts, settle any tax that's due, and then distribute your estate in accordance with your wishes. The role of an executor can be quite burdensome, particularly when the estate is large, complex, or contains foreign assets. And therefore, many of our clients choose to appoint professional executors or a combination of professional and non-professional executors, to ensure the effective administration of their estate. A will may appoint different executors for different assets. This is quite common when dealing with foreign assets in continental Europe, for example. Similarly, it may be advisable to appoint different executors to deal with business assets or a literary estate, because they'll need to deploy particular technical expertise when dealing with those kinds of assets.
