Many states prohibit people who have felony convictions from serving as executor. In Indiana, you cannot name an executor who has been convicted of a felony under any federal or state law.
If an executor isn't named in the will, the probate court MUST appoint according to these rules, but that doesn't stop anyone else with a family interest in the estate from contesting it. Say, the oldest surviving son is in jail for financial or insurance fraud.f an executor isn't named in the will, the probate court MUST appoint according to these rules, but that doesn't stop anyone else with a family interest in the estate from contesting it.
