Cassidie Bates: Becoming an Executor at 25 Sparked a Mission for Bereavement & Executorship Advocacy

Losing a parent is devastating. Being named an executor at 25 meant grief and responsibility arrived at the same time, with no warning. After the sudden death of her father, Cassidie Bates faced loss and grief as an only child while also carrying full legal responsibility for his estate. With divorced parents and no siblings to share decisions, she shouldered the weight alone, making important choices while still in shock. The conversation reflected on what happens when grief and obligation overlap. It touched on how family dynamics can shift after loss, how heavy executorship can feel for someone so young, and how little support exists for people navigating both emotional and practical demands at once. At its heart, it was about honoring a parent and finding steadiness when responsibility arrived before there was space to grieve.
