Who can I appoint as my executor in my Will?
Executor(s) must be above age 21 at the point of acting. He/she/ must also not be bankrupt, in jail or lack mental capacity.
Your executor can be anyone including your beneficiary/guardian/witness/spouse/child. The only restriction here is that if your executor is also your beneficiary or a spouse of your beneficiary, he/she MUST NOT be a witness to your will. The term "beneficiary" includes all beneficiaries, trust beneficiaries, remainder beneficiaries, and any substitutes for these beneficiaries in the Will.
