Yes. Yes..
Re: Executor of the will
In NY yes, in FL only if you are a FL resident. Assets can be left to anyone. but if a non-blood relative gets more than a blood relative (depending upon the reasons and background) anticipate a possible Will contest from the blood relatives. Florida has very restrictive probate laws, so if the aunt is a FL relative, she might consider doing a living trust to avoid the hassles of FL probate.
