Appointing Executors

Executors can carry out the instructions in your Will. If your arrangements are simple, one executor will suffice, but it is a good idea to name two. If a child or trusts are involved, two executors are essential. Your executors can be relatives, friends or you can appoint Dale and Co. Solicitors. You should ask the person you wish to appoint as an executor before naming them in your Will; it is a serious obligation. Executors can be a beneficiary but cannot witness your Will.
