Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Re: Re: Executors of a Will

Yes, you may name them as co-executors, which means they will act together to fulfill the duties of the executor. You could also name one as the executor, and the other as a successor if the first one cannot serve. You should also consider if one of them is better able to fulfill the duties of administering your estate when the time comes. As time goes by and they may change, you may also update your will and change the appointment.

In any case, you should review your will every 2 to 5 years, and sooner if there are changes in your life, such as: Death of spouse or child; Divorce of spouse or child; Death or divorce of a beneficiary or heir; Any change of relationship with or status of a trustee or executor; Birth of children or grandchildren; Educational needs; Special care needs; Creditor problems; Drug or alcohol use; Unexpected prosperity of a child; Change of domicile; Change in your own health status; Retirement.
