Harriett has just made out a will. The will names her brother Harold as the executor. This means that Harold will have the authority to take over Harriett's finances if she becomes incapacitated.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Naming someone as the executor in a will means that they will be responsible for carrying out the wishes of the deceased person after their death, such as distributing assets to beneficiaries. It does not give them authority over the person's finances if they become incapacitated. This would typically require a separate legal document such as a power of attorney.
