As executor, you may find yourself in the middle of conflicts and tensions about aspects of the estate distribution. Executors often underestimate the impact of grief and its associated emotions on the behaviour and decision making of others. Montane Estates offers the apps and know-how you need to make sure your administration runs as smoothly as possible.
Manage expectations
Beneficiaries of an estate often spend money coming to them long before it arrives. When there are financial institution delays and hold ups on an estate administration, the negative impact on executors due to beneficiaries’ demands for the distribution of gifts can be severe.
It is a good idea to let beneficiaries know from the outset estate administration is a complex process that can sometimes involve drawn-out procedures such as probate applications. There are no guarantees of money arriving at a certain time, so prudent spending is best.

An executor must balance their own grief with the demands of handling the turmoil and conflicts of others. Montane Estates gives you all the guidance and know-how for setting the tone and keeping control of the estate as it is administered.
