How
Send a short written update to all beneficiaries every month or two, even when nothing has moved.
Share the estate accounts before you distribute, not after, so questions get asked at the right time.
Put any contentious decision in writing with your reasons, so there is a clear record.
Get independent legal advice early if someone threatens a claim, rather than after positions harden.
