Hi there , my mum has just told me she and my dad are sorting their will out , and have put me down as a executor , they are both fairly young still in their 40’s and in good health , I will be a beneficiary in their will along with my brother , but the chances of either of them passing before my iva ends in 4 years is very slim , god Forbid ! They have asked me to be the executor of their will which they will be sorting out in the next few months , but I’m worried as my parents do not know I am in a iva , by me being put down as the executor will there be checks made and my iva come out of the wood work ? I understand if they passed whilst I was in the iva then it could be a issue , but I’m just wondering , putting me down as the executor do they need to know about my iva at this point ? Thank you

No, they do not need to know about the IVA and are free to name you as executor -- hopefully it will never become an issue and you will be well out the other side by the time they pass.
