During the time he wrote my father's will, he provided incorrect information about executor selection. In Maryland you can not have two people with equal responsibility; one person has to be the majority. After my father's death, this error caused the family a number of problems with setting up an e...state account and ability to access saving and IRA information. The solution for him was to make himself the executor. He did not pay bills in a timely matter; I found it settling for myself to pay the bills and than request a reimbursement. He did not provide regular reports or itemized checking account statements without being asked several times. He did not return phone calls in a timely matter, usually at least a week later.
