What a wonderful, professional Attorney my family and I found in Heidi Webb! For years, we put off creating a formal will and medical directives, but COVID-19 was the wake up we needed. I knew that we could no longer procrastinate. I searched around town and made a few phone calls and decided on Heidi’s firm. Everything went smoothly. In our first phone conversation, she shared valuable information about things that I never knew or considered. I really appreciated the advice. Her assistant, Molly was also very helpful. Heidi provided all the forms we needed to protect our family and property as well as our medical wishes. The process did not take long and was done via telephone, email, mail, and video conferencing. We could have gone into her office to complete the process, but we chose to use these methods due to COVID-19 restrictions. I am so thankful to Heidi and her team for their help getting things in order for our family. I consider her to be trustworthy and highly ethical. Based on our experience with Heidi and her team, I also consider her to be warm and welcoming with all varying types of people and cultures. Thanks again Heidi and Team!

How Old Should a Child Be to Be Named Executor in a Will

How Old Should a Child Be to Be Named Executor in a Will?

A person must be at least 18 to be qualified to serve as a personal representative. The person must also not be a convicted felon or someone the court finds “unsuitable.” Finally, the person should also not be incapacitated, although there are exceptions to those restrictions.

Assuming that the child is at least eighteen and meets the other requirements, they should be able to serve as a personal representative. However, whether they should serve is a question you need to ask yourself.

Serving as a personal representative is serious business, so make sure that the child is mature enough to assume the responsibility and responsible enough to carry out the duties. Having raised three children who are now in their twenties, I am comfortable saying that age is not always enough. Make sure you discuss this issue with your estate planning attorney.
