I'll be changing mine soon too. We have our sisters as exectors but we've decided family arent necessarily the best choice. We will probably ask 2 close friends to do it for us or perhaps even the solicitor that draws up the will. Someone who can have our kids best interests at heart and not their own.
24 hours and I'm outta here, cant wait!! 🙂
Yeah, I'd have to be careful in choosing one. The one handling grandpa's estate for me is excellent, however she's already past retirement age so its unlikely she'd be the one that would actually handle it.
I'd probably only choose a solicitor if our friends dont want to do it for us. I doubt they'd both refuse though.

It is not as if you will be spending the staffs wages on your FIL new clothes, therefore none of their business.
It would be more a case of things being stolen by other residents, when I worked in aged care we would have to frisk a client when getting them ready for bed as they would quite often have things in thier pockets that they took from another room. With some forms of dementia the person doesn't have that little switch in thier head that lights up saying "Hey! This doesn't belong to you, leave it alone"

At the nursing homes I worked out I would probably say the same thing.
All the laundry was tossed in huge industrial washing machines, there was no TLC or special treatment for any of the clothes. Expensive stuff would most likely end up ruined.
