The remaining executor takes over, or the court will appoint a new one. No will shall fail because of the lack of a named executor, the court will simply appoint one.

Is there a limit to the permitted number of executors of estates and wills in North Carolina?

An EXECUTOR is named in the case of the existence of a will. (testate) An ADMINISTRATOR is named by the court in the case of no will (intestate) The will of the deceased (if it exists) will be the guide which the court follows. There is no limit to the number of executors a testator may appoint in his/her will. See the related links below for the procedures when there are more than one executors and what happens when one of several executors dies, is removed or resigns.

Executors don't appoint executors. The court appoints them.


I am named as a co-executor. what happens if co-executor dies?

If a co-executor dies, the surviving co-executor becomes the sole executor. Papers issued by the probate court that state that there are two co-executors have to be changed to show that there is only one now. The procedure to do that is set by each particular court. You also have to see if the will says something different. Sometimes a person wants 2 or more people as executors at all times. That person might appoint coexecutors and provide that in the event of the death of one coexecutor another person shall be added.


When a will is created and two executors named can the will be changed without one of the executors signatures?

A will can be changed by the testator at any time. They do not need the signature of anyone named in the will to do so. They just have to meet the requirements for their jurisdiction.

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.

If an estate has two executors what happens to the estate if one dies?

The remaining executor will be responsible for taking care of the duties. If they wish, they can also ask the court to appoint someone else. The biggest thing is to keep accurate records so that the court knows what is going on. Consult a licensed attorney in your state for more details.
