When a person passes away, the remaining estate usually include any assets such as property, bank accounts, shares and superannuation has to be divided amongst their beneficiaries. 

 

If a valid Will is in place, an Executor appointed in that Will has the responsibility to collect and distribute the assets according to the deceased’s wishes.

 

In some cases, a person appoints a solicitor as their Executor. In other cases, family members or trusted friends are appointed and they will need the help of a solicitor to administer the estate in accordance with the law and the terms of the Will.
