Not too many people are aware, but under probate law in connection with wills and estates, the executor of the will assigned by the deceased person must be a U.S. citizen in many states in the U.S.
A new Memo dated October 3, 2011 issued by the Probate Court in Alabama, states that now proof of citizenship is required as well as a copy of the driver’s license. This requirement is same as the requirement in many other states.
Just a small reminder of one of the many benefits of becoming a U.S. citizen.
