Yes, the testator can choose who they wish. The appointed person does not have to accept the responsibility though.

How should you choose an executor for your will?

Select an executor for your will based on trust and relationship. A family member can execute the estate or you can choose two people to be co-executors. Lawyers can do it but they will likely charge the estate a percentage.


Is the oldest child normally executor of estate?

No, the oldest child is not automatically designated as the executor of an estate. The executor is typically chosen by the individual in their will or appointed by the court based on state laws. It is important to select an executor who is capable of handling the responsibilities involved.


What fee can an executor of an estate charge in California?

I practice in California. I will tell you how it works generally in CA. In CA, the deceased names the executor in their will. If the named executor declines, then any other interested person can petition the court to be named executor. The named executor has 30 days after notice of the death of the decedent or they can be deemed to have waived the right to appointment as personal representative. If there is no will/executor, the public administrator in the county where the estate will be administered will petition the court to be named as the public administrator (i.e. executor). The public administrator, as well as the attorney for the public admininstrator, is entitled to the same statutory fees as a private executor. In CA the fees are set forth as a tiered percentage of the gross estate value. For an estate valued at $200k, the percentage is 4% of the first $100,000, 3% of the next $100,000, and 2% of the next $800,000. As to whom to select, there are pros and cons as you probably guessed. A family member may know the family better, and may know the deceased person's wishes better. A family member may also keep administrative fees down. But, a family member may not be experienced with handling estates, or may not be impartial. A public adminstrator may not know the family as well, may incur higher administrative fees, but has experience in adminstering estates, and has no emotional bias.

What username and password can you use for tout le monde?

"Tout le monde" is not a user name, it is the "security principal" for "Everyone" in French Windows. As such, it does not have a password. You need the administrator password for your computer or network to be able to select this security principal when modifying file or folder permissions, not the nonexistent password of "Everyone".

How do you get rid of administrator of a computer with windows vista?

The built-in Administrator account CANNOT be deleted. The standard security practice is to rename the built-in Administrator account, set a strong password on it, and create another accounts with limited privileges set, for regular use, reserving the Administrator account as a back-up in case something where to happen to your regular account. If this administrator account is one you made yourself you can delete it. 1) Open the control panel and select the user account option. 2) Select the account you wish to delete then choose the "Delete Account". 3) Then if you wish choose the "Delete all files" option.
