Being named the executor of someone’s will can feel like an honor. It can also feel like a lot of pressure. It’s more than handing out inheritances. It’s paperwork, accounts, taxes, property, creditors, and sometimes family dynamics, stretched out over months or even years. Today, Steve talks through how he can help. He’s not an estate attorney, and he’s not trying to be. But when a client is staring down this role for the first time, having someone who can help them make sense of it makes a real difference.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

⚖️ Professional Help: Coordinate legal and financial guidance
