Can the executor be an heir?
Whether an executor can be an heir is a common legal question. Although it is not expressly prohibited by law, there are many controversies in practice. If the executor is also an heir, a conflict of interest may arise and affect the fairness of the execution of the will. Therefore, it is recommended to appoint a third party who is not related to the heirs as the executor to ensure fairness and transparency in the distribution of the estate.
