My father is dieing of terminal cancer and before he became ill he did not handle his fianancial affairs. I thought to have him sign a health care proxy and power of attorney before he was not alert and oriented. He did not do a will, but told me today he wants both my sister and I to be the executor to his estate and if not he would like to have me. I think both of us really is the better choice. Can two people be executors to an estate to which they both inherit?

Yes, you can be co-executors if named in a will. Without a will, one of you will need to petition the court to be named Administratrix of the estate.
If you need further assistance in handling his estate matters, please contact my office for a complimentary consultation.
