Why would my ex-husband’s executor need my social security number, if I was not named in his Will?
Should I be giving it to him? I just don’t feel comfortable giving it to the executor.

There is no valid reason that I can presently think of where your ex-husband's executor would need your social security number if you are not named as a beneficiary under his estate. I suggest that you contact the executor and simply ask why such information is needed.
