Executor

Hi kiddo!

An executor is someone who makes sure that a person's wishes are carried out after they pass away. This person is usually appointed in a will, which is a document that says what should happen to a person's money and property after they die.

Think of it like this: you know how sometimes your mom or dad tells you to do something, like clean your room or brush your teeth? They trust you to do it, right? Well, an executor is like the grown-up version of that. When someone dies, they trust the executor to make sure their wishes are taken care of.

So let's say your grandpa passed away, and he has a lot of things he wants taken care of. He's left some money for his children, some property for his grandson, and some sentimental items for his best friend. The executor would be the person who makes sure all of these things are given out according to your grandpa's wishes.

It's a big job, but it's an important one. People appoint executors because they want to make sure their loved ones are taken care of even after they're gone. The executor has a big responsibility, but they're usually trusted to do the right thing.
