Best Answer

The executor can be changed only under certain circumstances.

If you have an objection to the appointment of the named executor you must file your objection when the will is submitted for probate and explain why you think the executor should not be appointed. The court will consider the objection and issue a decision either allowing the appointment or requiring that another person be appointed.

If the named executor does not want to serve they can file a declination with the court and someone else can petition to be appointed.
