Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Can a convicted felon serve as an executor?
My sibling was convicted of grand theft ($30K), flight to avoid arrest, & forgery. It is my understanding that a FELON cannot serve as an executor. Do you know what is the EXACT Probate Code so I can refer to the law? Thank you.

Problem is that they would not likely be able to obtain a bond - judge can select alternate under facts and circumstances. Call me if you would like free consult to discuss your position -
