Bearing in mide your eldest child is likely to be considerably older by the time you die, and your FIL is likely to no longer be around by then I would make him / her an executor, otherwise you risk outliving all your executors.

It sounds like your current estate is over £250k, so dying intestate is going to a big problem, so you need things sorted ASAP.

You can make people reserve executors, ie if FIL / SIL are unable / unwilling to act, then you appoint your eldest. Obviously at 18 that would be a bit much, but as stated they are likely to be much older - and in five years you might want to appoint both children.

You said you're doing this because you've got an operation coming up soon. If it's particularly risky or there are risks of going wrong, have you set up Power of Attorney?
