Executor Qualifications

What qualifies me to be an Executor?

If you have full mental capacity and are over 18 years old, you qualify. You are able to do the role even if you are going to inherit from the estate. Most commonly you are the spouse or child of the nominator but not always as the person may not have these people to call on. This is where things get tricky as spouses and children don’t necessarily always have the skills required to do this role but get nominated anyway. Which is one of the main reasons we have developed an Executors Guide to help educate people in this difficult position, ideally before the person passes so they can talk to each other. if you are an Executor and want to know more, follow me for more insights or just get in touch for a one to one.
