The individual has his or her will amended to show the new named executor or executrix. The amending will need to be witnessed and notarized (preferably) in the same manner as the original document, but not neccessarily by the original witnesses.
An executor or executrix who has been appointed by the probate court or was named by the testator (testrix) must be relieved of the responsibility through the court.

∙ 14y agoYou can't change the named executor in the will. The executor must be appointed by the court. At that time you have the opportunity to object to the appointment of the named executor and have your objection heard by the court. On the other hand, the named executor can decline if they don't want to serve as executor and another person can petition to be appointed.

∙ 15y agoThe appointment of an executor is initiated by the initial filing of the probate of the estate. You can state in the petition to have the will allowed that the named executor is unwilling to serve and then you can name another person who you want to be appointed. The court will appoint that person unless objections are made.
