Can you witness a will and be the Executor?
My parents have both passed away in the past 5 months. Mother's will left all to my Dad. Dad's will left all to us four kids. Both wills were written and notorized on the same day several years ago. My sister and I were witness to both wills as well as another witness. Now that Dad has passed away unexpectedly we realized that we witnessed this will and we are the two Executors. This is a small estate with a house and it's furnishings, two small checking and two small savings. Will this be a problem?

It was my sister, me, another witness and the notary. Your answer seems to agree with others. There will be no conflict between the siblings - we make sure we agree on things before we act.

There will be no contest between us. We did not use an attorney. Just another witness and the notary.
