I am dreading the whole executor business again. When I was young I had my
Dad, but he passed a year ago, so I have to change that. I have seen first
hand now what the job entails and I'm not really sure my children are up to it
- it is a major undertaking. Almost all of my family lives 3000km away too so
there's not a ton of younger than me options. I don't think my wife wants or
can handle that duty either.BradSent from my Galaxy
