Answer:
Most certainly. It is quite common for a will to name, and the court to approve, co-executors for an estate. In some cases, one of the executors is a trust company or other fiduciary that is adept at the business of estate settlement. The appointment of co-executors should indicate whether one may act independently of the other. In many cases, however, co-executors must act together.
