Episode 7 – Choosing Your Executor & Power of Attorney
Executor. Power of Attorney. Two titles you’ve probably heard—but do you really understand what they mean, and why naming the right person matters?
In this episode of Into the Woods, attorney Morgan Napierski joins host Dave Shaffer to break down the critical differences between these two important roles. They explain when each role takes effect, what responsibilities come with them, and why choosing someone trustworthy (and familiar with your family dynamics) is key. They also share real-life insights—plus a court case where things went seriously wrong—to help you avoid pitfalls and plan with confidence.
