Executor of a will
After a person dies, can the Executor be replaced by one of the deceased two children?
(Current executor is distant cousin; uncommunicative,doesn't return numerous calls over last 2 weeks)
Re: Executor of a will
Yes an executor can be replaced for cause, but you need really, really, really strong proof of wrongdoing or incompetence, etc. Not returning your phone calls doesn't even come close. Executor is under no legal obligation to talk to you. The best way to go is to pay a lawyer a few hundred bucks to call your cousin's lawyer and find out what you want to know.
Good luck,
