No. Only the court can appoint an executor. You could petition the court to name your sister as co-executor but make certain you provide a good reason to support your request.

This is not correct. An executor can be named by the testator (maker of the will), and it can be anyone the testator designates, including a sibling.

The person named as executor can be a witness to the will. It is not a good idea to have a beneficiary of the will as a witness.
