Settling an estate of a loved one always starts off with "good intentions" but the complexities of probate and estate settlement often wears down the "good will" of parties involved.  After a death family and friends "come together" and honor the life of the decedent but soon after controversies often develop.  

If you are named in a will as a executor or under a trust agreement as a trustee it is critical to learn your executor duties and fiduciary duties.  If you don't, you may find your self to be the target of attacks by family members who are eager to receive funds and even more eager to criticize your actions as the estate executor.  

Learning your executor duties and staying clearly within your responsibilities we lower financial and emotional risk. To prevent this make sure you review you executor duties early in the process with your estate attorney.
