The Executor Paradox: ClearEstate's National Poll with Will Daley

Most Canadians expect executorship to be difficult. Most would still sign up for the job.

Pollster Will Daley joins Davide Pisanu to unpack ClearEstate's 2026 national survey of more than 3,000 adults on estate administration and executorship. They discuss why trust continues to shape family decisions about estates, how wishful thinking leads to months of unexpected work and what opportunities are revealed in the data that could help Canadians be better prepared.

Daley, Senior Vice President, Research and Analytics at Canada Pulse Insights, also explains what surprised him most about the study and why simply getting the ball rolling may be one of the biggest predictors of estate planning success.
