If you’ve been appointed as an Executor or Executrix under a North Carolina resident’s Last Will and Testament, you must bring the original Will to the courthouse in the county where the decedent lived and qualify to administer the Estate.

You’ll find the forms you need to complete here:

If you need help completing these forms or assistance in administering the Estate, the law entitles you to hire an attorney at the Estate’s expense to aid you in these tasks.
