Webinar - Lawyers and Accountants Duties as Executors

1 CPD Point – Ethics

Who to name as Executor of their Will can be a challenging question for clients considering their Estate Planning options. Often, they turn to their professional advisers to fill this important role. Taking on the role of Executor in a professional capacity as opposed to a purely personal one brings with it a range of issues and obligations that need to be considered in the preparation of the Estate Planning documents and before accepting such a role.

In this Webinar, Lawyers and Accountants Duties as Executors, Estate Planning and Commercial lawyer, Greg Mohen, discusses the important considerations and obligations in accepting the Executorship of a Will in a professional capacity.

In this Webinar, Greg will cover:

• Key responsibilities as an Executor;
• Duties to Beneficiaries;
• Ethical obligations in accepting the Executor role;
• Charging clauses and entitlement to remuneration - as an Executor vs for professional services;
• Authority to incur third party expenses; and
• Limitations of professional indemnity insurance.

This webinar is suitable for lawyers, accountants and other professional advisers and is pitched at an intermediate level. It is ideal for professionals dealing with Estate Planning issues.
