About this Gig
Acting as an Executor, Estate Trustee, or Personal Representative carries heavy personal financial liability if estate administration duties and responsibilities are not clearly agreed upon in writing.
Conflict frequently arises between co-executors or anxious beneficiaries over who controls estate bank accounts, how estate property is valued and sold, how often updates are shared, and how much executor compensation is paid. As a Lawyer with probate and estate expertise spanning Canada, the UK, the USA, and all European countries, I draft bespoke Executor Agreements that establish clear governance and shield you from personal liability.
What Your Custom Executor Agreement Covers:
- Fiduciary Duties & Responsibilities: Clear allocation of tasks, banking authority, and tie-breaking rules between Co-Executors.
- Beneficiary Reporting & Timelines: Agreed milestones for estate inventories, debt settlement, tax clearance, and distributions.
- Executor Compensation & Expenses: Locks in statutory or agreed executor fees and out-of-pocket reimbursements upfront.
- Hold-Harmless & Liability Indemnity: Protects the executor against personal lawsuits by beneficiaries.

FAQ
Who needs an Executor Agreement outlining estate administration duties?
This agreement is ideal for (1) Co-Executors who want to divide responsibilities and avoid deadlock, (2) a Sole Executor and Beneficiaries who want written agreement on executor fees, property sales, and reporting timelines, or (3) heirs entering a Family Estate Settlement Agreement.
Which countries do you draft Executor Agreements for?
As a Canadian Lawyer with cross-border probate expertise, I draft Executor and Estate Administration Agreements compliant with the laws of all Canadian provinces, the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, NI), all 50 US states, and all European (EU and non-EU) countries.
How does this agreement protect me from personal liability as Executor?
Executors can be sued personally by beneficiaries over perceived delays, house sale prices, or tax holds. My Standard and Premium packages include binding Beneficiary Consent, Hold-Harmless, and Estate Indemnity clauses that shield you from personal liability for good-faith administration.
Can this agreement lock in my Executor Compensation / Fee upfront?
Yes. One of the biggest disputes at the end of probate is beneficiaries objecting to the Executor's fee. By signing an Executor Compensation & Reimbursement clause upfront, all beneficiaries pre-approve your percentage or flat fee and out-of-pocket expense reimbursements in writing.
What if there are Co-Executors living in different countries or states?
In the Premium package (or via my Gig Extra), I draft formal Co-Executor Power of Delegation clauses allowing an overseas or out-of-province Co-Executor to delegate day-to-day banking and administrative tasks to the primary Executor while retaining sign-off on major property sales.
