3-time felon.
Asked on August 29, 2012 under Estate Planning, Arizona

In Florida, convicted felons are not eligible to serve as the personal representative of an estate. Period.
In most states, three felony convictions means life in prison. If this is the case and the felon is incarcerated then it would be nearly impossible for this person to be an executor and the court would have to appoint someone. If, however, this individual is a former felon who has been released, then absolutely the former felon could do the job of administering the estate.
