Does a executor need to keep brothers and sisters informed of actions and copies of death certificate?

An executor is not legally obligated to keep siblings informed of all actions taken or to provide copies of the death certificate, but it is generally considered good practice to maintain communication with all beneficiaries and interested parties. Keeping siblings informed can help prevent misunderstandings and disputes. Executors should review the will and local laws, as requirements may vary by jurisdiction. Transparency can foster trust and collaboration among family members during the estate administration process.
