From our “Ask a Question” mailbag: I live in Bucks County, and my Will names my two children as co-executors. I thought this was a natural thing to do, but my children have not been getting along recently. What are my options?
Naming your children as co-executors when they don’t get along is a bad idea. Co-executors have to work well together and cooperate. Children who are having a dispute can transform a small family squabble into a feud that could last for generations.
You should investigate changing your Will to name another family member or, if you have none that you trust, to name your Bucks County Estate Planning Attorney.
