Executors Checklist

Executors actions in dealing with an estate are frequently tested by the likes of HM Revenue & Customs, charity beneficiaries, difficult or disgruntled beneficiaries or co-executors. Using DIY executors can lead to host of issues at a sad time; Neil Raiseborough, head of private client department at Warwickshire law firm Alsters Kelley warns. Co-executors, on the other hand, are all primary executors who share the responsibility of managing the estate. If there are two or more adult children, many parents name them as co-executors so that they aren't perceived as favoring one child. Your will can dictate how co-executors fulfill their duties. Executors provide these documents to entities such as insurance companies or financial institutions to confirm that they have the legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. Gathering Assets The executor must first identify all the decedent’s assets and gather them for safekeeping whenever feasible.

    static ThreadFactory	defaultThreadFactory()	Returns a default thread factory used to create new threads.
    static ExecutorService	newCachedThreadPool()	Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available.
    static ExecutorService	newCachedThreadPool​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)	Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.
    static ExecutorService	newFixedThreadPool​(int nThreads)	Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue.
    static ExecutorService	newFixedThreadPool​(int nThreads, ThreadFactory threadFactory)	Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue, using the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.
    static ScheduledExecutorService	newScheduledThreadPool​(int corePoolSize)	Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
    static ScheduledExecutorService	newScheduledThreadPool​(int corePoolSize, ThreadFactory threadFactory)	Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
    static ExecutorService	newSingleThreadExecutor()	Creates an Executor that uses a single worker thread operating off an unbounded queue.
    static ExecutorService	newSingleThreadExecutor​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)	Creates an Executor that uses a single worker thread operating off an unbounded queue, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create a new thread when needed.
    static ScheduledExecutorService	newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor()	Creates a single-threaded executor that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
    static ScheduledExecutorService	newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)	Creates a single-threaded executor that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
    static ExecutorService	newWorkStealingPool()	Creates a work-stealing thread pool using the number of available processors as its target parallelism level.
    static ExecutorService	newWorkStealingPool​(int parallelism)	Creates a thread pool that maintains enough threads to support the given parallelism level, and may use multiple queues to reduce contention.
    static <T> Callable<T>	privilegedCallable​(Callable<T> callable)	Returns a Callable object that will, when called, execute the given callable under the current access control context.
    static <T> Callable<T>	privilegedCallableUsingCurrentClassLoader​(Callable<T> callable)	Returns a Callable object that will, when called, execute the given callable under the current access control context, with the current context class loader as the context class loader.
    static ThreadFactory	privilegedThreadFactory()	Returns a thread factory used to create new threads that have the same permissions as the current thread.
    static ExecutorService	unconfigurableExecutorService​(ExecutorService executor)	Returns an object that delegates all defined ExecutorService methods to the given executor, but not any other methods that might otherwise be accessible using casts.
    static ScheduledExecutorService	unconfigurableScheduledExecutorService​(ScheduledExecutorService executor)	Returns an object that delegates all defined ScheduledExecutorService methods to the given executor, but not any other methods that might otherwise be accessible using casts.
