No. Executors must carry out the terms of the will as they are written with this exception: The beneficiaries may agree amongst themselves to divide the estate in a manner other than that in the will. This is just recognition of the fact that people can make gifts as they see fit. This does not give an executor power to do that. The beneficiaries do it and instruct the executor to make the distribution the way they want to.
