If there is no alternate executor named in the will or if the alternate cannot or will not serve as executor then the court will appoint one. "Residuary legatees" in most states have a prior right to be appointed over "family members" because the residuary legatees are the ones that have a stake in the outcome of the administration of the estate. A "family member" simply by being a family member, may not have an interest in the estate, such as where a child has been disinherited, and would most likely not qualify to be appointed. On the other hand, if all the interested parties to the will assent, any family member capable of serving or a non-related person or financial services company may be appointed such as an attorney, trust department of a bank, accountant, financial consultant, favorite uncle, etc. You should seek the advice of an attorney if the estate needs to be probated.
