If there is no will then there is no executor. Some qualified person would need to petition the probate court to be appointed the Administrator of the estate. An Administrator is appointed when there is no will.

If there is no will, the court will appoint an executor to handle the estate. The person appointed as the executor is typically a close family member, such as a spouse or adult child, or in some cases, a professional, like a lawyer or accountant. If you believe you are the closest living relative and should be the executor, you can petition the court to appoint you as such.
