An '''executor''' is the person named in a '''will''' to carry out the instructions in the will. When the person who made the will (the '''will-maker''') dies, their property and possessions form their '''estate'''. The executor administers the estate by locating all of the will-maker’s property, paying any debts, the funeral costs and taxes, and then distributing the rest of the estate according to the instructions in the will.
