What if executor sues the other 2 executors over a will?

Perhaps nothing will happen, because most states provide that when there are more than one executor the majority rules except where the majority is acting contrary to the interests of the estate and beneficiaries. The executor suing will probably have to prove more than there being a difference of opinion as to what should be done during administration. Such differences might involve the choice of the bank in which the estate account should be placed. If, say, the reason for the majority's choice is ease of banking with no difference in interest rates, the court would side with the majority. If the chosen bank has a lower interest rate on the estate account the court would side with the single executor. In addition, one or more of the executors might be removed as executor depending on the facts.

Can a HOA President overrule a majority vote?

No. Read your governing documents to determine if this special privilege and power has been vested in the office of the president. If it exists, it may be vested in the developer and cannot be passed along to anyone else. Generally, a president offers a tie-breaking vote if other board members vote evenly on a motion. A president may not overrule the majority of owners in any case.

Can a majority of Beneficiaries remove an Executor who is not operating in the beneficiaries best interests like spending unnecessary funds?

No.It generally requires a court action of some kind to remove an executor. What a "majority" wants is irrelevant; the only thing that matters is whether the executor is acting in good faith in attempting to carry out the wishes of the deceased.Another PerspectiveThe beneficiaries can petition the court for the removal of the executor and the appointment of a successor. The complaints should be set forth in a clear and concise manner with examples of the misuse of funds. If the executor is indeed wasting estate assets the beneficiaries have a right to complain. The court will review the situation and render a decision.

What rights does a co executor have if the other co executor is delaying settling the estate?

The co-executor's rights are most likely limited to bringing an action to have the other co-executor removed for failing to fulfill the obligation to settle the estate expeditiously or to force the coexutor to perfom some ministerial act required to move the estate forward or be removed. The action may also request that the delaying co-executor pay damages, if any result from inexcusable delay, or interest or even forfeit some or all commissions due to him/her for acting as executrix. One co-executor usually cannot simply assume total control of the estate and move forward, because, in most states, when there are more than one executor, it takes a majority to act, and when there are only two executors, there is no majority.


Does a majority vote of heirs in an estate override an executor?

No. Not unless that power was granted in the Will. Otherwise, an executor is appointed in an estate in order to avoid such types of interference by the heirs. The court appointed executor has the legal authority to carry out the provisions in the Will and according to the probate laws for any property not mentioned in the Will. The heirs generally have no say in those matters.
