Being the executor of an estate can be overwhelming at an already trying time. Worst of all, if you miss a detail, you could be exposed to legal and financial risks.
Here are some of the common questions executors ask us:
- What taxes are due after someone dies?
- Why does the estate have to go through probate?
- How much can I pay myself as executor?
- Will I owe tax for being the executor?
Having a co-executor of the estate or complicated assets (like the deceased owning a small business) can make the process even more complicated.
You don’t have to go through this alone. We have 25 years’ experience helping executors just like you. We’ll work with you and your lawyer to ensure
