Re: Personal Representative Qualifications
It may be legal to appoint such a person, but it is not a good idea. The person you choose as your personal representative will have to handle your affairs where you live. An out of town personal representative will be greatly inconvenienced and also may not receive notices and information in a timely manner. Sometimes choosing an out of town personal representative is unavoidable, but it is always more difficult.
