Being executor of will is hard work

When my dad died last November, I thought I would be the boss in handling his estate. I was named the executor of will so I first thought I had a lot of power of deciding who got what. The reality I soon found, is that the executor of will of an estate has more of a duty to other people than they do to themselves. When I learned what my executor duties were all about I decided to punt the whole job of being the executor of the estate to a probate attorney. Now, I still have free time and don’t have the hassles and all that responsibility.
