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.
State Laws Differ. State laws govern probate courts, not federal law, so the rules can vary a great deal from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, in New Jersey and Oregon, there are no laws stating that a convicted felon can't serve as executor of an estate. In New Jersey, this applies even if the named executor is still in jail when the testator dies.
