    You should have at least one executor with a reserve in case the first choice dies before you or is unable to act for some other reason
    No sure what you mean by a 'reserve' executor. All executors are equal and act jointly, although one of them may undertake a lead role with the agreement of the other executor(s).

    By reserve I mean a replacement. That one person, the first choice, will act but if she is unable to another person, the second choice, will do so. If the OP dies and the first choice can act, the replacement will not be needed and will not act.
