A Resource for Estates and Executors - Created by Executors, for Executors ...

A good majority of executors face the responsibilities of estate administration with little or no related experience. Professional and life experience perhaps, however in the realm of estates, wills and probate, most executors are novices. Conversely, the experts and players in this world work with estate issues every day. This experience gap can seem like a disadvantage. It may be challenging to ‘get your head around it all’ and ‘to get it right’. As executors confront challenge after challenge, the estate load can became heavy indeed.

Executorium is an information hub to improve visibility of the resources available to personal representatives/executors.   Our mission is to show you the landscape, shine a light on common challenges and put solutions on your radar.

If there’s anything that you can suggest that we should add, we ask that you contact us. Any resource or information source that helped you with your estate – please share. Help make executorium stronger for future families.

We wish you smooth seas.
