Can a person be an executor to the estate he owes money to?
Yes. Nothing prohibits a testator from choosing a person as his or her executor simply because there is a debt between them. In the matter of who is to be the executor, courts go to great lengths to honor the wishes of the deceased. The beneficiaries will be able to challenge in court the manner in which the executor handled repayment. An executor might be held to a higher standard of proof if he or she disputes the claim in full or in part than any other creditor might be held to. In other words, although it appears that there is a conflict of interest in the executor handling his/her own claim, there are remedies available to beneficiaries to ensure proper handling of that claim that do not thwart the decedent's personal choice of the person to be the executor.
