More details to this question:
I have no one else to ask to be the Executor of a trust. It will be a simple one, small estate, one paid-for mobile home, a paid-for car, and bank accounts. I need an Exector, and I'm wondering if the attorney who prepares the trust can take this role.

Usually, a family member or heir to your estate would be the exector.  However, it is possible for anyone, including your attorney, to be the executor of your estate.
