Personal representative, formerly called executor
Your will must include the name of a person you choose to be your personal representative to administer your estate. (This formerly was called the executor.)
You may choose one or more persons who are 18 or older or an institution such as a bank or trust company. It is a good idea to name an alternate personal representative in case your first choice dies before you do or cannot manage your estate for other reasons.
