An executor is not a liquidator (vereffenaar)

An executor and a liquidator (vereffenaar) are not the same role. The executor is appointed in a will. He has only the powers that that will and the statute give him. No more, and not a set that the office fills in as standard. The liquidator is the person who settles when the statute asks for liquidation (vereffening), often after an acceptance under the benefit of inventory. That role does not come from a silent reading of the word executor. A will that appoints an executor does not of itself make that person a liquidator. Read what is there. Note the appointment the paper really contains. If it says executor, the line is executor. If it says no liquidator, you do not add that role because the work looks alike.

You take the powers over as the will names them. You do not extend them with selling, paying out or filing a return because a previous file did it that way. If a power is missing in the text, it does not stand in the task as something the executor may do. Put a question out to the notary instead of a broad reading. The liquidator, if there is one in this file, gets a line of their own with a source of their own. Not the will that only names an executor, unless that document also really regulates the liquidation in words you can point to. Two roles remain two lines, even if it is the same person. A person can be both. One word does not cover them both.

In the workspace a staff member sees both lines side by side: executor with the will, liquidator with the document that carries that role, or an empty line with a task. In the portal you do not switch on a layer that promises a role the paper does not have. A letter that calls someone executor and liquidator while only the first is fixed stays a draft. Heirs do not see that draft. Internal doubt about the scope stays an internal note. The playbook steps of the office get the label appointment. They are not the statutory power. That way you prevent a planning from stretching the appointment. On handover of the file the first sentence is: on paper this appointment stands, and the other role is open.

Ervazo records the two roles separately, with the source you put with each role. Ervazo records and calculates as a worksheet. It does not read the will and it does not promote an executor to liquidator. That is not advice. It files nothing and it pays nothing. The program grants no hidden power and it pays nothing out because an executor stands on the line. Which appointment applies is the paper, and in case of doubt the notary. The worksheet does not calculate with a role as if the role were an amount. An empty second role stays empty. The software performs neither function and files no appointment.
