A quick definition of coexecutor:
A coexecutor is a person who is named in a will to help carry out the wishes of the person who wrote the will. They work together with other coexecutors to make sure everything is done correctly. Sometimes, a person may act as an executor temporarily, but they are not the legally appointed executor. It is important for coexecutors to work together and communicate well to make sure everything is done properly.
A more thorough explanation:
A coexecutor is a person who is named alongside another person to carry out the provisions in a testator's will. They share the responsibility of executing the will and making sure that the testator's wishes are carried out.
For example, if a testator names two of their children as coexecutors, both children would have equal authority to make decisions about the estate and carry out the provisions in the will.
Coexecutors are also known as joint executors.
