## Step 4 — Select the Will-Executors

The plugin downloads the [WeList](../will-executors/welist.md) directory and shows the available servers with their fees.

## What happens from now on
- Keep using Electrum normally. The plugin watches your balance and asks you to refresh the will when it changes — see [Keeping the will up to date](../user-guide/updating.md).
- If you enabled [Check Alive](../user-guide/check-alive.md) (advanced mode), opening your wallet after the threshold prompts you to postpone the delivery date.
- If you stop opening Electrum, the Will-Executors broadcast the inheritance on the date you set.
