Help and guidance for professional and lay executors

One of ILM’s aims is to ensure that legacy officers can do their job to the very best of their ability, and in doing so ensure that they optimise legacy income for their charity. It is also vital that executors understand the role of legacy officers and understand what information and help charities will need from them.

We have developed guidance for executors to ensure that this process runs as smoothly as possible, thus helping to ensure that every generous donor’s final wishes reaches their greatest potential.

Our Guidance for Executors is designed to act as a useful guide to ensure that the process of the administration of a charitable estate is clear, and that executors can better understand the information that charities will need. We have guidance for both professional and lay executors.
