Probate - Who should serve as Executor?


Join me this evening for an Estate Planning presentation. See the information in the left column. Come and bring a friend. Learn more about probate and other matters.

There are many important decisions to make when you are doing your Will. One of those decisions is who will you name as your executor. When making the decision, trust is your number one consideration. After that, you can pretty much pick anyone you would like. It could be a family member, a friend, a professional advisor, a beneficiary under the will, your neighbor, in other words anybody that you trust. They do not need to have expertise in this area or live in your state. Yes, it could help if the person has some expertise in this area or live in your state or close to you. However, all of that is not necessary and you should be guided by the one you feel you trust to do what would be in your best interest. You can then share with them the duties of the executor as provided in the previous blog posting.
