Makes perfect sense. If you are a lawyer.
(1) the majority of lawmakers are lawyers.
Stop voting for lawyers.

That's what I found when discussing this with a friend who is a lawyer. He did say he thinks the process has flaws but was ultimately supportive. My main point, and I think it comes from a libertarian perspective, is that it makes no sense for the court to even be involved if a Will exists and certainly not when executors are named. His point was that a Trust is a contract where a Will is not considered a contract. The Will "nominates" and executor and the Court officially appoints whereas a Trust appoints a Successor upon the death of the Grantor.
