Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
executor of will
I was told that in Florida a non-relative cannot be an executor of a will.
In what states can a non-relative be an executor of a will?
Thank you

Re: executor of will
Florida Law - When someone has their will drafted they can name whom ever they want to serve as the executor or personal representative of the estate. That person does not have to be a family member. Whether the executor is a family member or not, they can be removed from handling the case under certain circumstances. This would be done when the will passed through probate.
