What records would show whether choosing an executor or other fiduciary was handled properly?

Question

The point I am trying to resolve is this: what records would show whether choosing an executor or other fiduciary was handled properly? Another part of the situation is that a person needs to choose an executor or other fiduciary but family members may be unavailable, unsuitable, or likely to conflict.

A strong fiduciary is usually someone who is trustworthy, detail oriented, available, willing to serve, and steady when conflict arises. State specific law often controls estate administration, trusts, property rights, and family claims, so have a lawyer in the state confirm the governing documents and the present court or title status before anyone does something that cannot easily be undone. In the estate planning context, co fiduciaries can provide checks and balances but can also slow decisions if signatures or agreement are required.
