How do you get someone with dementia to make a new will and remove you as executrix and sole beneficiary They have high credit card debt a mortgage exceeding the value of the house on the market?

Someone with dementia is not capable of making a new will. When the testator eventually dies, you can decline to be appointed executor. The estate will be responsible for the debts. If the debts are greater than the assets the estate will be declared insolvent and the beneficiary will get nothing. The bank will take possession of the real estate. You don't need to be "removed" as a sole beneficiary it creates no obligations on your part.
