What if I am appointed as an Executor or an Administrator?

In days gone by, it was considered a compliment to ask a friend or relative to be your Executor. However, because of the onerous nature of the responsibilities many people opt for 'professional' Executors such as Trustee companies, solicitors or accountants.

It is possible to renounce your role as Executor or Administrator and hand it over to another individual or company. If you have any further queries regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us or make an appointment for a face-to-face meeting.
