    Great information on what to expect when a loved one passes. My father died but I wasn't the "executor". No one was. He didn't set it up. The responsibility fell on the sister who had the most "legal" knowledge. However, now that my mom is elderly, I probably should be doing some research since she is the one who inherited my father's estate. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I guess I would like to be aware of the "greedy monster" if I'm not careful. I need to speak with my mom about "outlining" her wishes and then respect them and "execute" them. Thanks for the eye opener.

    When you are named the Executor in a Will, does this officially have the person immediately involved as the Executor? I aave a situation whereby the named Executor is saying that he cannot be the Executor until the signed witnesses on the Will have been confirmed. I believe this to be incorrect. Can someone provide comments. Thanks.

    Great job - there is some very valuable information here. It's so nice to have a checklist to follow during the grieving process because concentration and focus is difficult when you're grieving.

    A great idea for a series of lenses: what to do when your parent dies and you happen to be the executor of the will. And so timely, too, as so many of us are dealing with aging parents.

    I know many will find this helpful. My dad died 9 years ago and my mom, 22 years. I wasn't the Executor but was the Power Of Attorney. Come to think of it, that may be a good topic for your series, too.

    Executor responsibilities can be a nightmare. I know it was like walking through a maze when I provided that service for my husband's aunt. It's a good idea to grab a map and mark all the places you need to go, especially out of town. Where is the courthouse?
    You are providing a great service here, Liz.
