FAQs on this topic are provided in a booklet. This booklet explains what is involved in being a personal representative. It is divided into two sections:
• a question and answer section that looks at issues to consider before you accept the role as well as common questions and examples; and
• a checklist section that helps guide you when the testator—the person who made the will—dies.
This booklet gives general information only, not legal advice. It is not a do-it-yourself guide. For that, you need a more detailed self-help publication or legal advice. See the last few pages of the booklet for information on where to get help.
