Yes. You may name co-executors in your will. However, if you do so you should make certain that the two get along well and that your instructions in the will are very clear. You might consider naming an arbitrator, your attorney perhaps, if the two have a disagreement they cannot resolve.

What happens when co-executors disagree?
You have problems. In general, when there are more than one executor, a majority of the executors rules on any one decision or action. That is easy. The difficult situation is where there are only 2 executors and if they disagree there is no majority. When there are two executors, all decisions and actions must be unanimous. If they disagree on something they either have to go to court and have the court make the decision or, if there is no hope of them ever agreeing on anything, then they should go to court to have one removed or have both removed and an impartial person appointed to serve as the sole executor.
