Will rovisions

When a will is made, can one of the beneficiaries in the will be made the executor? Any legal bar to it?



Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a beneficiary named in a will can also be appointed as the executor. The consensus from legal experts is that there is no legal bar preventing a testator from nominating a beneficiary to also serve as the executor. Anyone can be appointed as an executor, regardless of whether they are also a beneficiary.

No.  Anyone can be nominated as an Executor by the Testator.
