When an individual passes away, their estate is looked after by an executor, also known as a personal representative in a few jurisdictions. Executors of estates have a selection of obligations. The executor's duties can vary depending on where you are, but they typically involve arranging the funeral (a task typically done by family members), locating and reviewing the dead person’s will, tracking down and safeguarding the deceased person’s assets, notifying beneficiaries, generating a list with assets and liabilities, applying for a certificate of appointment, preparing and filing tax returns, paying creditors, and finally distributing the assets. The first task for an executor is to choose whether a certificate naming an estate trustee will be needed. The Rules of Civil Procedure refer to the estate trustee as the executor. According to the Rules of Civil Procedure, an estate trustee includes the executor. The Superior Court of Justice issues this certificate to establish the admissibility of a will and the rights of the estate trustee to manage an estate.
