Yes, in many cases the executor is a family member and heir.
The executor is not personally liable for anything. The estate is liable for all of the debts. If the executor is going to inherit anything, there may not be anything for them to get.
The executor does not have to sign the will. They don't even have to know there is one or that they are the executor.
If you are writing a will, then you need an executor. However in this case where you are leaving everything to her, she can be the executor.
ohh as i , i leave them
The executor has no right to make changes. The only person that can change it is the mother or the court.
The executor has no power over anything not owned by the estate. However, they can sell anything in the estate necessary to pay off debts.
The executor is responsible to the court. Anyone with an interest in the case can present his concerns to the probate judge. The executor does not owe anyone anything. No one can tell the executor to do anything. If the probate judge instructs the executor to give you a copy of the report, you will get a copy of the report. If you do not present your concerns to the probate court, you are Sadly Out of Luck.
Unless specified otherwise in the will, an executor is entitled to compensation for their work. Anything they inherit is a separate accounting.
The executor has the responsible to maintain the estate. That includes keeping the property safe.
If he died before his stepfather, he will not receive anything. Whether his heirs get anything will be determined by the stepfather's will and executor and will not affect your work.
Not without breaching his fiduciary duty to the estate.
Of course not.
