Some people will think, anyone can be executor. Some just appoint whoever close to them as Guardian of their children.
Questions is, is the person really suitable to be your executor? Is he / she has the time to execute the Will? Is the Guardian being appoint able to take care of your children if nothing much you can pay them?
7. Appointing Unsuitable Executors
The role of an
executor may be challenging for someone. They will need to manage the estate (assets of
the deceased), appoint a lawyer to apply for probate, deal with the court, collect assets, pay
outstanding debts etc. Sometimes the executor may have to use their own money first to
pay for legal fees to obtain your probate.
