Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
Witness to Wills
If someone is named as the secondary executor of an estate if the primary executor is not alive, can this secondary executor still witness the signature of the person making the will? Would this nullify the will or just the part that names him as the secondary executor? thanks!

Re: Witness to Wills
It's a good question. Very definitely it depends on which
state's laws are to be applied.
1) Which state is it?
Please answer that and two other questions for you to answer (by e-mail to [email protected]
or by telephone to (617) 527-0050) :
2) Is this second executor named in the will as a
beneficiary?
3) What is the relationship of the second (contingent)
executor to the testator?
