Being an executor can be stressful. Are you ready for the job ahead?

This video is part of the Estate planning: What’s changed and what hasn’t video series created in collaboration between RBC Wealth Management Royal Trust and David Chilton. David Chilton is the author of best-selling personal finance guides The Wealthy Barber and The Wealthy Barber Returns, and former dragon on CBC’s Dragons’ Den. Leave a legacy, not a burden™.

“I’ve talked a lot about reasons I don’t want to be an executor. Reasons most Canadians shouldn’t want to be an executor. It’s time consuming. It’s stressful. It often leads to family conflict. But there’s another reason I don’t think I’ve communicated aggressively enough: it’s hard. And getting harder.”
