My brother, bless him, was the executor for both our parents when they died. Mum's estate was quite simple, I believe, but Dad's was very complicated and the solicitor was useless, making numerous mistakes. Poor man, I've named him as joint executor with his step-son in my will but I do appreciate how much time and effort it takes so have left them both a separate amount for their hard work as well as their share of the estate.
Reading all the comments about charities above I'm so glad I haven't left anything like that in my will; it all goes to family!
Well done all you unthanked executors ... you do a brilliant job. ???
