In this episode, Andryanna sits down with Debbie Stanley who is a Trust and Estate Practitioner, Estate and Trust Professional, Certified Executor Advisor, and the CEO & Senior Estate Administrator for ETP Canada. They talk about a role many of us will take on and select for ourselves—but few of us are prepared for: the executor of a loved one’s estate.
Debbie breaks down what the job really entails, how to start the conversation about death and legacy (without it feeling morbid), and why women are often the ones carrying the invisible load when it comes to end-of-life planning.
Whether you’ve been named an executor, are navigating loss, or simply want to be proactive for your family and choose the right executor for your estate, this episode is full of compassionate guidance and concrete takeaways to help you feel more confident and prepared.
