It is possible to find a lawyer or a professional fiduciary. However, the Rules of Professional Conduct require that a lawyer not serve as an executor unless he or she has a long time relationship with the client. Give some thought to this. To whom are you going to leave your assets? Could that person/persons serve as Executor? I will be happy to discuss this with you further if you would like to call my office on Monday. I am in Ocean County, right by the Ocean County Library.
