You are concerned my answer might cause potential executors to fear personal liability. However I think we should also be careful not to go too far in the other extreme. Executors absolutely can acquire personal liability if they mismanage the estate, fail to deal with creditors before paying out to the beneficiary, pay the beneficiaries incorrectly, or breach their fiduciary duties generally. However I will accept that in some regards an estate has legal entity-like qualities. But then so do other non-legal entities such as trusts, but we still make the distinction.
