Can a daughter have her mother's will changed prior to her being named the executor knowing her mother is dying of brain cancer?

No one can change another person's will. The testator can make changes only if they have the legal capacity to make changes. No one can "have" another person's will changed because a legal professional knows that it cannot be done. If the daughter who is trying to change the will is the named executor the family should object to her appointment as the executor after the testator's death. Some other more trustworthy and responsible person should petition to be appointed as the executor.
