Yes. And, there is no amount of money that makes it worth it; being the familial executor is a huge pain, and better accomplished by a disinterested third party. There is quite a market for this, in fact. Even though executors are usually chosen in the will, and family members, many electees recognize the potential for conflict and long lasting scars that may result, and opt for a third party execution of will.
This is a contrast to tradition, however, in which the estate holder generally accorded the rights of execution of will to the firstborn or other--so called 'blessed,'--individual expressly so that they would get 'the lion's share.'
