Why Reluctant Executor?

In October 2020 I received that call that every son and daughter knows is coming but still never expects. My dad told me that he had stage IV lung cancer. Treatments would start soon, but the long term prognosis was not good.

I was lucky that I got to spend almost another 2 years with him. I used some of that time to get a deeper understanding of his estate and wishes. Even with that knowledge and preparation, I was shocked at the number of unexpected challenges after he died.

Reluctant Executor is a way to share the knowledge I gained over this experience. I want to motivate you to plan ahead, have those tough conversations, and ease the burden when you or your family eventually have to deal with settling an estate.
