ABSTRACT

By nominating an executor in his will, the client may appoint a person he trusts to carry out the distribution of his estate and, where appropriate, he should be advised to appoint businesslike or professional people (for example, solicitors or accountants) as executors because they will have the expertise to maximise the possible financial and fiscal advantages on the distribution of the estate. (As to the choice of executors and trustees, see Chapter 4, ‘Advising the Client’.) • Advise the client that by the terms of his will he may express his

wishes as to disposal of his body on his death and the possible use of parts of his body for transplant surgery.
