What is the role of an Executrix?

An executrix is a female individual appointed in a will to administer the estate of a deceased person. Her primary responsibility is to ensure that the provisions outlined in the will are carried out according to the deceased's wishes. This includes collecting assets, paying any debts or taxes owed by the estate, and distributing the remaining assets to the designated beneficiaries.

In terms of the other options, drafting a will is the role of an individual preparing their estate plan, rather than the executrix. Managing an estate without a will pertains to cases where no will exists, which would involve an administrator rather than an executrix. Distributing assets during a divorce is a different legal process entirely, separate from the responsibilities of an executrix, whose focus is solely on the administration of an estate after death.
