What Is an Executor?
The Executor is the person legally appointed to manage the estate of someone who has passed away. Their authority comes from a document called the Letters of Executorship, issued by the Master of the High Court. Without this, financial institutions and property offices cannot release or transfer any assets.
Key Responsibilities – An Executor must:
- Identify and secure all assets
- Pay any outstanding debts and taxes
- Prepare liquidation and distribution accounts
- Distribute inheritances to beneficiaries
It’s a role that demands accuracy, organization, and patience — and it can be overwhelming without guidance.
