Absolutely! Many people have either 2 Executrixs (female) or perhaps an Exector (male) and Executrix. Executrix's aren't taken lightly and they are to follow the wishes of the deceased to the letter. This means paying off all bills and other debts, and then the Estate goes into Probate and they will be sure all person/property taxes are paid and all creditors are paid. Once this is done then what is left in the Estate will be disbursed to any Heirs that the deceased mentioned in the Will. The Executrix can also collect 1% - 3.5% out of the total assests of the Estate for carrying out this duty, but anything over 3.5% may go into court as it's on the high side.
