Yes, it is possible for there to be two executors of a will. They can work together to carry out the wishes outlined in the will and manage the estate.
When co-executors cannot agree then they each need to have their own attorney (or solicitor) and then allow the attorneys to complete the proceedings. Generally, an attorney will not allow the client to impede the process unnecessarily. Generally, the attorneys will be paid by the estate so it benefits the estate for the co-executors to act reasonably and responsibly to preserve the assets that will eventually pass to the beneficiaries.
if you have our executors you will never get your money
Depending on the jurisdiction, the executors might be liable. I would urge legal advice.
Yes, executors can withhold payments to beneficiaries under certain circumstances. This may occur if there are unresolved debts or claims against the estate, pending tax liabilities, or if the executor believes the distribution may not be in accordance with the will's terms. However, executors are required to act in the best interests of the estate and beneficiaries, and they should communicate the reasons for any delays in distribution. Legal advice may be necessary if disputes arise.
Yes you certainly can and they can also be your trustees too!! Some people also have more than 2 executors!!
Generally, if two executors are named in the will and then appointed by the court as co-executors they must act together unless the will provides that either can act alone.

Technically yes they can but if both executors are named on the Grant of Probate then both signatures would be needed to cash in any assets.
