My venture into this arena was unsolicited, undesired and very personal: In 2008, my own parents died within nine weeks of each other. A trial-by-fire period ensued as I fulfilled executrix duties for two estates at once.
Now, I stand ready to help other executors with this burdensome task. Consider Checknowledgy as your resource for these and other executor duties:
- Gathering data for estate tax returns, including assisting with the valuations of personal tangible and real estate assets;
- consulting on systems for distributing tangible personal property among beneficiaries;
- assisting with the closure of bank and credit card accounts;
- cancelling subscriptions;
- notifying businesses and charities.
