In my jurisdiction the executor cannot be a beneficiary of the will. Getting named as the executor means that you cannot inherit anything.

Interesting. Never heard of that before. Definitely not the case in the two US states I’ve lived in when I was an executor.

Meh, maybe I am wrong: I was told this by an attorney in 1992. It might have changed, or I could have been misinformed.

I am in South Africa, BTW.
