The free online Will-writing platform requires that you name one executor and one alternate (backup) executor.
Appointing an alternate executor provides a backup if your primary executor is unable or unwilling to serve.
If you'd rather not name two people, or you're not sure who to choose, you may wish to seek the advice of an estate planning attorney in your state.
