Yes, it is possible for an executor to be someone in another country. There are no specific restrictions in Malaysia that prohibit an executor from being a foreign resident. However, it is advisable to appoint executors who live in Malaysia. This is to ensure that the executors are familiar with the legal requirements and obligations of serving as an executor in Malaysia.
