That's why I think that an executioner should always be an outsider, with nothing to gain but fee.

I think you meant Executor. An Executioner is someone very different indeed, and you definitely won't want to meet him or her.

Whoever the executor is, the most important thing is that it is someone you TRUST to follow YOUR wishes and instructions. The problem with a number of people in professional capacities (financial advisors, lawyers, etc.) is that once given the power to give out other people's money, they often get an inflated sense of power and make some decisions that the deceased person would not have wished to be made.

This happens, every now and then, English not being my native language

Fixed the typo in my post. Sorry if I have caused any emotional disturbance...

Don't worry, Kari. I do things like that myself and English IS my native language.

Actually, it was a funny kind of 'Freudian' slip.

I make them all the time, and a few times I've said some doozies!!!

Actually it could end up as executioner if you pick the wrong person
