3.1 Who will carry out my last wishes?

The liquidator is the person responsible for carrying out the final wishes expressed in your will (this person used to be called the executor).

You can name someone to be the liquidator in your will. It is a good idea to name more than one person in case your first choice cannot, or does not, want to be the liquidator.

3.2 What does a liquidator do?

The liquidator must:

• identify the people who can inherit;
• make a list of your property;
• collect money you are owed;
• pay your debts; and
• distribute your property to your heirs.

You should pay the liquidator something if the liquidator is not an heir.
