Can a Michigan resident be executor of an Ohio will?

Probably. Where the will was executed is irrelevant. The only issue is where did the testator die? If the testator died as a resident of Michigan, the will has to be probated in Michigan. If the testator died as a resident of Ohio, the will has to be probated in Ohio. If the named executor, or the person to serve as executor with the will annexed in the absence of the named executor, is not an Ohio resident, s/he may have to designate a "resident agent," usually the lawyer handling the estate.
