No. The executor must be appointed by the probate court and signs their own name as the executor of the estate. For example: " John Smith, executor of the estate of John Doe." Be sure to add that designation, especially when signing contracts on behalf of the estate, so you do not unintentionally obligate yourself personally in any transaction you carry on for the estate.
