DUTIES OF AN EXECUTOR | Antes de Morir Podcast Ep. 4 [SPANISH CONTENT]
The executor is the focus of this fourth episode of Antes de Morir. We explore one of the most conflictive topics in family inheritance processes: the executor — the person responsible for managing the assets of someone who has passed away… yet often doesn’t know what to do, or simply avoids doing it.
Did you know that if the executor fails their duty, they can lose their right to inherit or even face prison?
