Crossword Genius

One who works with a will (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

executor

'one who works with a will' is the definition.
(an executor executes a deceased person's will)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for executor that I've seen before include "Person who carries out the provisions of a will" , "Person appointed to carry out the terms of a will" , "One ensures terms of a will are carried out" , "Person nominated to carry out the terms of a will" , "One is appointed to carry out the terms of a will" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
