Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An executor is someone who is appointed by the testator (the person making the will) to carry out their wishes after they pass away. This person is responsible for managing the estate, paying off debts and taxes, and distributing assets according to the instructions in the will. An executor is also known as a personal representative because they are representing the deceased person's wishes and interests. The other options listed (settlor, administrator, and trustee) all involve different roles within estate planning, but they are not the same as an executor.
