After a loved one passes away, someone must take on the role of executor of their estate. If the deceased left behind a will, that document will likely include the name of the person they designated to be the executor. This is an important job. The executor’s role is to guide the estate through probate court, settle its debts and honor the deceased’s final wishes.
Here are some of the executor’s most important duties.
Another responsibility for the executor is to represent the estate’s interests if someone
challenges the will’s validity. The executor must then defend the will in court if it comes to that. Though will challenges are fairly rare in Illinois, they do happen. Sometimes, family members are suspicious of an amended will from shortly before the decedent’s death. Or a relative comes forward with what they say is the testator’s actual final will.
Fortunately, as executor, you can seek representation and advice from a probate attorney. Their guidance can make the process smoother and faster and reduce the chances of litigation.

They've helped my wife and I address concerns we've had for quite a while. We decided on a Trust as the vehicle to address our final wishes.
