Best Answer

An executor has to have the will in order to be able to execute it, and if you don't give the executor a copy of your will while you are still alive, you certainly are not going to be able to give him a copy after you are dead, at least, not unless you have a preliminary executor whose function is to give the will to the actual executor - which is really a needless complication.

No. In fact, an executor does not come into existence until the testator has died, the will has been submitted to probate for allowance and the court has appointed the executor. Executors have absolutely no 'rights' powers or responsibilities prior to the death of the testator.

Absolutely none. The only time an executor named in a will has any power is only after the death of the decedent and only when the will has been examined and allowed by the probate court and only when the court has appointed the executor.

You have to have the rights in the property before you can sell them. Being a named beneficiary does not give you the right to transfer title, though you could quit claim your rights.
