Perhaps the greatest peace of mind that parents of minor children can have is knowing who will take care of their children should something happen to them. Naming a guardian in your Will will help ensure that your choice is appointed. The reason you are making a Will is to distribute your estate to those you choose.
Beneficiaries can be people, charitable organizations or trusts.
Generally, you may specify any person or organization. Some state call them executors, others refer to them as personal representatives. By any name, this is the person you choose to carry out the terms of your Will. The responsibilities of the Executor are important. He or she must collect your assets, pay all debts, taxes and expenses of the estate, and distribute the remaining assets to your beneficiaries.
