An executor is a person appointed by the maker of the Will (testator) to be responsible for the management and distribution of assets to the beneficiaries. Anyone who is not a minor (18 years old and above) and of sound mind can be appointed as a trustee or executor. In fact, your beneficiary can also be appointed as your executor.
You can appoint between 1 to 4 (max) executors and can choose whether you want them to act jointly or according to the order. If, according to the order, your substitute executor will step in in the event any of the named executors predecease you or renounce their executorship. Alternatively, you may also appoint a trust company to act as your executor and trustee.
