No, it is not necessary to nominate an executor in the will but it is necessary to nominate the beneficiary of the will and it must be attested by at least two witness.

As suggested by Mr.Bhatia it is not necessary to appoint an executor but it would be in the interest of the beneficiaries if an executor is named (may be one of the beneficiaries)to avoid any conflicts as may arise.Pl. take care while drafting a will.Professional help if need be may be taken

No it is not necessary. In case of will is written by the scribe his signature is necessary, two wittensses signatures are necessary, and the mndatory contention in the will is " This is last will, before this I have not made any will in favour of anybody"

It is suggested to name the executor of the will to avoid future conflicts even though not mandatory.minimum two witnesses need to sign. better to seek Legal guidance in drafting the Will.
