Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina
estate of the deceased...
Do you have to live in the same state as the deceased in order to be executor of their estate? I live in Ohio and my father lived in North Carolina.

In Ohio, an executor who is a family member doesn't have to live in the same state, but that person will have to get bonded to carry out the function.
