Executor does kind of sound like execution

On the good chance that you are asked to be an executor to an estate (unless said person is mega-rich, in which case they'll hire a professional and that person WILL EARN EVERY PENNY), I have a single piece of advice for you. Actually, that's a lie. My first piece of advice would be to punch that person in the throat and then, when they ask you why they did that, punch them in the kidneys and hope that between one or the other they figure it out, but that's not really smiled upon in polite society. Although having a previous arrest for assault is a really good way to make the probate judge side-eye you enough to make your break for it.


Context is speaking from experiences.

So it is as bad in the US as in the UK. Good to know.
