Why Do You Need an Executor / Administrator?

An executor is the individual or corporation charged with carrying out the wishes of the deceased, as outlined in a will. A trustee is the individual or corporation responsible for administering a trust. An executor or trustee can be a family member, a bank, an attorney, or a trusted friend. It can be a difficult job, especially if the estate or trust is complex or extensive. Our attorney, Adam Bernick, has acted as executor / administrator of estates and trustee of trusts on numerous occasions. He is very familiar with the fiduciary responsibilities of such positions.

How Does One Become an Executor / Administrator?

Our attorney assumed these positions of fiduciary responsibility either because he was named as executor of a will or trustee of a trust, or the named executor resigned and nominated Adam Bernick to assume the executor duties. On occasion, he has been named the alternate executor. On other occasions, he has been appointed by the Registrar of Wills as a result of a dispute surrounding the named executor or proposed administrator.
