A guide for executors and personal representatives
After the loss of someone close, there are often several administrative tasks that need attention, depending on the situation and your relationship to the deceased. Whenever possible, consider asking a trusted family member or friend to assist you with these responsibilities rather than handling them on your own.
To support you, we’ve created a checklist of the most common tasks that need to be completed, along with key resource links to relevant agencies and organisations.
