Choosing as an executor is a crucial decision since his or her job can be a thankless one. The executor usually gets the blame if things do not go the way family members expect. Since the executor is bound to carry out the terms of your will and obey the laws of the state, pick someone who is organized and trustworthy. If your bank has a trust department, you might discuss this with a trust officer. Many banks serve as executors and trustees and their fees are generally reasonable. If you decide to name a person, consider an executor that has a personal interest in your family, is familiar with your affairs (but does not have a conflict of interest), has people skills, and the competence and maturity to do the job well.
