 eferred to as the hardest job you never applied for. Being an executor has

  to understand the role before choosing their executor and before agreeing
  to act as executor for a friend\, parent or another family member.</p>\n<
 p>Where there’s a will there’s a way\, but without a will\, you have what’
 s called intestacy and that can be a huge problem. This is a major issue f
 or Canadians. In fact\, it’s estimated up to 70% of us don’t have a curren
 t or valid will. Most don’t even understand what can cause a will to becom
 e null and void.&nbsp\; After completing this module\, you will:</p>\n<ol>
 \n<li>Know the general steps and timelines of an executor’s role</li>\n<li
 >Be aware of and executor’s personal liability</li>\n<li>Understand how th
 e role of executor has changed significantly over the past 20 years</li>\n

 </li>\n<li>Learn how you can assist your executor in doing their job</li>
 \n<li>Know about the different types of wills in Canada</li>\n<li>Understa
 nd the top ten reasons to have a will</li>\n<li>Realize what happens when 
 you don’t have a will</li>\n<li>See what happens when an estate has insuff
 icient funds to make payments</li>\n<li>Know when to review and update you
 r will</li>\n</ol>\n<p><em>Key Highlight</em>: Understanding the executor’
 s role can prevent countless problems in estate administration for your fa
 mily.&nbsp\; Having a current and valid will is one of the most important
