Executorship & Estate Administration​

Executorship & Estate Administration​

It is difficult to choose an executor for your Wasiat. The well-being of your family is at stake. The right person will see to it that your dependents are secure and content. The wrong person may simply leave them entangled in distress and neglect

Hence, to ensure the continuity of the administration of the estate, it is clearly more advantageous to appoint a corporate body to be an executor instead of relying on an individual.
