An attorney (lawyer or barrister) will draft and advise on a will. The executor of the will is the individual (who isn't necessarily a legal expert) who is designated to insure that the wishes of the person who leaves assets are carried out as regards the distribution of those assets.

A waiver may need to be signed after a person has died to address legal or administrative matters, such as the distribution of the deceased's assets or settling claims against the estate. This process often involves obtaining consent from heirs or beneficiaries to proceed with actions that affect the estate. Additionally, it can protect the executor or administrator from future legal liabilities related to the estate's management. Signing such waivers helps ensure that all parties are in agreement and can facilitate a smoother probate process.

First, an executor must be appointed by the court. Until the appointment they have no authority. To commence the probate of a testate estate, the will must be submitted to the probate court for allowance and the executor petitions to be appointed. If the will is allowed and the executor appointed, a probate case is created and that file becomes a public record. Anyone can visit the court, request the file and review the contents. One of the first duties that an executor must perform is to gather up all the property of the decedent and submit an inventory to the court. Any bank accounts must be listed along with their balances. After all the decedents debts have been paid and the property distributed, the executor must submit a final account that details where all the assets went, either to pay the debts of the estate or as distribution to the heirs. Any person can monitor the estate by periodically reviewing the file. No one but the executor is "entitled" to handle bank records. If you think the executor is not reporting assets accurately you can file a motion asking the court to compel the executor to produce bank records. You may need to hire an attorney if the situation gets that serious. See the related question link for a list of the general duties of an executor.
