[WSBAPT] Non-Profit Entity/Board President as Personal Representative

[David Faber]

List:

I have a maybe strange (or maybe banal to most of you, but new and strange
to me) question: Client wants to leave their entire estate to a nonprofit
entity, and they want to name the then-sitting president of the board, or
their designee, as Personal Representative of Client's estate. The Client
is widowed with no children, wants nothing to do with their extended
family, and has no close friends. The Client also does not want to hire a
specific professional fiduciary because the estate is not massive and they
want to make it is as easy as possible for the nonprofit. My question:
would the following language fly?

"I nominate and appoint the then-acting President, or designee thereof, of
[NONPROFIT], a not-for-profit corporation located in [LOCATION], Washington
State, to serve as my Personal Representative."

Best,
