Executor Information

Below is information you may require if you are appointed the Executor of a person's Estate. Please feel free to print or copy any of the documents below, or just use them as a guide.

After someone dies, the deceased's estate is frozen. Power of Attorney also ceases and the Executor is responsible for carrying out the deceased's wishes.

In order to do this, the Executor will need the Death Certificate (Certified Copy of Death), issued by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages which often arrives 7-10 days after the funeral. William Barrett & Sons will mail the Death Certificate after checking the information on the Death Certificate is true and correct.

The Executor is also responsible for contacting various institutions to inform them of the death. William Barrett & Sons will contact some of them on your behalf and can assist you in contacting the remainder.
