More details to this question:
I live with my own elderly father for four years now. I am his daughter who is his caretaker. I do most everything...meals, meds, errands, doctor appts., bedtimes, naps, personal care, etc. I am not currently his Executor of Estate, a brother is who lives out of state--also another brother in state. I did not know they could SHARE that position. How can I become the Executor of the Estate. Also, my father wants me to inherit the house--much to the chagrin of my brothers! What do I do now?

Your father's will can name an executor. When the will is submitted for probate, the court will appoint one, usually the person named in the will. Your father should see a local estate planning attorney. If needed, ask for one who will go to the home.
