Full question:
Does an executor or representative of your will have to live in Wisconsin?
- Category: Wills and Estates
- Date:
- State: Wisconsin
Answer:
It’s generally best for an executor to live in the same state as the estate. If they don’t, it can become expensive for them to travel back and forth to manage the estate. Additionally, some states require out-of-state executors to post a cash bond, even if you've waived this in your will.
