Friend asks me to be executor but won’t help me prepare
After agreeing to serve as executor for a longtime friend, the writer asked the friend to prepare a contacts list and settle financial loose ends but says the friend won’t help get things ready.
Dear Eric: A friend of mine whom I’ve known for more than 30 years has asked me to be the executor of her small estate. I agreed to do so.
To make that task less difficult for me, I’ve asked her to create a list of those she wants me to contact upon her death and to settle some financial loose ends. I have offered to help her do both and I have given her a list of resources in the community.
