If you're making a Will, you should carefully consider who to appoint as executors of your estate. It's a role of great responsibility and you need to feel like you can trust your executor completely.
Unfortunately, executors can knowingly or unknowingly breach your trust. This can happen through carelessness, incompetence, or them acting in their best interest instead of your estate’s. This is known as executor misconduct.

An executor is responsible for taking control of the administration of the estate. They'll need to collect in assets and distribute the net estate according to your Will.
Managing estates can be very complicated. It's even more complicated if multiple properties or international assets are involved. Incorporating trusts or rural estates can also present unique challenges. Our team are experts in handling complex wealth structures.
