    No, but she may need to show the marriage certificate as well as provide proof of ID to prove that she is the correct person

    My sister and I were both named as executors of our parents' wills. Didn't matter if I was married or not. As long as she can show paperwork to cover the change of surname (if she did change her surname) then there shouldn't be any problem at all.

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    Slightly different circumstance, a change of name following divorce, not a marriage, but I showed my Deed Poll document with anything to do my Father's will and estate since his death. Not had one query.
