<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in">A quick question on pros and cons. A client wants to have two relatives act as joint Personal Representatives in her Will. I’m not sure that is possible to give letters testamentary to two people, but if it is
my instinct is that it would be better to have one be the personal representative and the other be a successor PR. Any arguments for and against?<o:p></o:p></p>
