Dealing with bereavement can be challenging. Executors or Personal Representatives may find themselves having to sort out the estate of a family member or friend while they are grieving.

Being an Executor or Personal Representative of an estate can be an onerous, emotional and stressful task. It can involve arranging the funeral, going through personal papers to find out what assets and debts there may be, applying to the Probate Registry and dealing with beneficiaries and other family members.
