ESTATE DISTRIBUTION EXECUTOR

In the event of a divorce, a property division must normally be made, see Matrimonial property division and Property division. If the parties do not agree on how their property should be divided, both parties or one of them can apply to the district court for an estate distribution executor to be appointed. An executor can also be appointed when a cohabitation relationship ends for reasons other than the cohabitants marrying each other.

The task of the estate distribution executor is primarily to try to get the parties to reach an agreement on how the property is to be divided and secondarily to decide on the parts of the division the parties disagree on.
