How do you name your executor?

In your will, you can name your executor or personal representative. This person handles the affairs of the estate after you pass away. If you do not have a will, the court will appoint an executor for you. Often, a family member requests this duty, and the court may choose to grant or deny their request depending on the circumstance.

Make sure someone you trust is taking care of your estate. If you need to appoint an executor to your estate, contact the Austin estate planning lawyers of Slater, Kennon & Pugh LLP by calling 512-338-1100 today.
