I have the wills of a father and son. Father made the son, John executor and trustee. All the children got their share outright, save William, for whom John was made trustee.
When John came to make his own will (complicated by an illegitimate daughter, for whom a trustee was appointed - and hideously complicated when her heirs died out and the estate was divided between the descendants of John's siblings) he specifically mentioned reimbursement for the trustees. I suspect that the relationship between John and William must have been - to say the least - difficult.
