As an Executor of a will, do I have any financial obligations to the Estate?

Navigation:  Home > Frequently Asked Questions > As an Executor of a will, do I have any financial obligations to the Estate?

As an executor, you are not legally responsible for the debts of an estate. Any money owed by the deceased,

should come from the estate. In fact, you should avoid paying bills or taxes with your own money

because if you pay the debts, the estate's net value will be higher, thus increasing the likelihood the

estate will owe more taxes.
