Frequently Asked Questions
What is an executor?An executor is a trusted individual named in your Last Will and Testament to administer your estate. Your executor is responsible for tying up your financial and legal matters as well as distributing your assets to beneficiaries.Who should I choose to carry out my final wishes?Many people appoint the executor (also known as a personal representative) of their Last Will to carry out their final arrangements. If this isn't possible or desirable for you, be sure to choose someone you know and trust to carry out your end-of-life plans.

In Virginia, you may direct the disposal of your remains and your memorial arrangements in a notarized written document. The individual you appoint to carry out your final wishes must sign the document before taking action under it.

Normally the authority to make decisions about your remains and make memorial arrangements goes to the following people, in order:
- The person named in your written document
- Your spouse
- Your adult children
- Your parent
- Your adult siblings
- The guardian of your minor child
- The guardian of your minor siblings
- Your grandparent
- Your aunt or uncle
- Any other relative in the descending order of blood relationship
