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.
The executors are responsible for the payment of the debts according to the payment scheme required by state law, however, if they do their jobs properly only the estate is responsible for the debts of the deceased. You need to be careful when there are debts and not enough money to pay them all. Certain creditors have the legal right to be paid first and the debts must be paid before any property is distributed to the heirs. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate.If there are no assets in the estate to pay debts the creditors are out of luck.
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.
co-independent executors
All executors have the right to see the will, they cannot execute it if they do not have access to it.
Executors do not get the money, it goes to the estate. The executors distribute the estate per the will or laws of intestacy.
Executors don't appoint executors. The court appoints them.
My husband and I are executors of a will and want to cancel this.
Depends on the agreement.
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.
I get it.
