About the Webinar

In today’s estate landscape, executors - including professionals - are increasingly vulnerable to scrutiny, disputes, and personal liability. From aggressive beneficiaries and family provision claims to complex asset management and allegations of misconduct, the risks are real. Practitioners must be equipped to protect executor-clients (and themselves) both during estate planning and throughout the administration process. This practical and strategic session will explore how to minimise exposure and preserve executor protections by exploring:

  • Real-world examples of recent disputes and liabilities faced by executors - and what went wrong
  • How these issues could have been prevented or mitigated through effective estate planning, clearer documentation, and early legal advice
  • Key protective measures - including indemnities, executor insurance, contingency funds, exclusion clauses, and the strategic use of judicial advice
  • How to manage conflicts where executors are also beneficiaries
  • When professional executors should decline or step down from a role - including red flags to watch for, ethical considerations, and how to exit responsibly
