What can you do if the executor of the will wants to change the will and the other two eirs do not want to change the will?
Only a testator can change her will while she is living. Once a testator has died, the provisions set forth in the will can only be modified by a judge. An executor named in the will has no authority until they have been appointed by a court. This named executor has shown they are dishonest. The other beneficiaries should submit the will for probate and petition to be appointed the executor. The court should be made aware of the named executors suggestion that the provisions in the will should be changed. That is a violation of law.

How do you take your name off a Will?
The only person who can change a Will is the living testator. Once the testator has died the Will cannot be changed. You cannot change another person's Will.

Can there be only one co-executor?
No, in fact, you can have as many co-executors as needed. However, as you can imagine, the more co-executors you have, the more complicated administering the estate becomes. I always suggest that only one executor is named, followed by an alternate executor if the original executor cannot act, or has pre-deceased the testator.

The Executor has read and divulged the contents of a Will to beneficiaries while the testator still lives. What should we do?
That is an inexcusable breach of confidentiality. The breach should be reported to the testator so she/he may have the option to amend the will and name a new executor. In fact, the testator should name a new executor since that one has proven by their actions they are not trustworthy.The beneficiaries should know that a will can be changed by the testator at any time prior to their death and doesn't become effective until the testator has died and the will has been submitted for probate and allowed. If the will has not been changed at the time of death to name a new executor, objections should be made to the appointment of that executor and someone else should petition to be appointed. The evidence that the named executor breached the confidentiality of the testator by revealing the contents of the will should be brought forth at that time as evidence that they cannot be trusted.
