| text = The executor is a trustee, bound to act for the good of the estate, even though the executor may also be a beneficiary or have a personal interest in the estate assets. The executor must put the interests of the estate before their own personal interests. As a trustee, the executor is accountable to the beneficiaries. For example, as executor, you must keep records and give all beneficiaries a final statement of accounts. | |||
