Transfer of Property After Death without a Will Any adult member of the family can fulfill the role of an executor in the absence of a will.
Executors basically are a beneficiary's only conduit of information when it comes to the estate of their loved one. As a result, they have a responsibility to keep beneficiaries reasonably informed about the activities of the estate and transactions made on its behalf.
Yes, the executor and beneficiary can be named as the same person in the Will. It's perfectly normal and legal. It's actually a common approach because the executor should be someone you know and trust and it's common sense that your beneficiaries fall into that column.
A beneficiary can override an executor if the executor fails to follow the terms of the Will. Beneficiaries can override an executor if the executor breaches their fiduciary duty. A beneficiary who simply disagrees with an executor or does not like the executor's decisions cannot override the executor.
How Often Does The Executor Have To Keep Me Informed? There's no set timescale for how often an executor should update beneficiaries, however it's good practice for everyone to agree at the start on how and when they'll keep you informed while they're administering the estate.
