This is the most basic element to a well-designed estate plan.
A will is a legal document that sets out how your property is to be divided upon your death. Within the will itself, there is an executor who is appointed to physically execute your will according to your wishes. The executor’s responsibilities include:
- Collecting all your assets;
- Paying all of your debts;
- Distribute your estate according to your will.
Remember the golden rule that “if you pay peanuts you get monkeys”
