Can you pay a beneficiary with stock?
The answer depends on the facts of the particular situation, how the will reads, what the beneficiary is given under the will and other factors. Also the laws of the state of probate should be taken into consideration as well as they might have a bearing. In the typical case where a beneficiary is given a specific dollar amount of money, you cannot pay the beneficiary with stock unless the beneficiary and the residuary legatees agree to it. If the beneficiary is given the stock itself, then the beneficiary must be paid with that stock unless he directs the executor to sell it and give cash instead. Even in that case an executor might refuse to sell the stock and tell the beneficiary to sell the stock himself after he receives it. If the beneficiary is given a portion of the residuary estate (which would include all sorts of assets) the beneficiary has the right to request the stock itself, but only in proportion to his/her share in the residuary. If the situation is that there are two residuary legatees and the value of the estate available for distribution is composed of cash and stock having equal value, the executor cannot force one beneficiary to take the stock and the other to take the cash unless that is what they agree to.

How does one decline being an executor of a will?
You file a Declination with the court and the alternate executor named in the will is next in line to be appointed. If there is no alternate executor named in the will or if the alternate cannot or will not serve as executor then the court will appoint one. "Residuary legatees" in most states have a prior right to be appointed over "family members" because the residuary legatees are the ones that have a stake in the outcome of the administration of the estate. A "family member" simply by being a family member, may not have an interest in the estate, such as where a child has been disinherited, and would most likely not qualify to be appointed. On the other hand, if all the interested parties to the will assent, any family member capable of serving or a non-related person or financial services company may be appointed such as an attorney, trust department of a bank, accountant, financial consultant, favorite uncle, etc. You should seek the advice of an attorney if the estate needs to be probated. The estate needs to be probated if there are any assets that were owned by the decedent.
If an heir stated in a will had already passed on does that heirs family get his share or does it go back to the estate?
That depends on certain details. A well drafted will makes provisions for any devise made to a beneficiary who predeceased the testator. If the will does not contain alternative provisions then the gift lapses and becomes part of the residuary of the estate. The residuary estate is all the property that was not specifically devised in the will. A well drafted will contains a residuary clause that directs how the residuary estate will be distributed. If there is no residuary clause in the will then any leftover property will pass as intestate property according to state laws of intestacy.
Is a residuary trust revocable or non revocable?
