Then someone else is and must follow the wishes of the deceased.
Whomever applies to the court to replace him.
As long as the will was properly drafted and is allowed by the court the executor and the beneficiary can be the same person.
Alternate ExecutorsThis will depend on the Probate [sometimes called "Succession"] law of the state in which the deceased [who assigned your father as executor] lived, and thus the will was probated.Usually, the will for which your father was named executor will have a statement naming an alternate (s) executor in the event the named executor [your father in this case] is unable, for any reason, or unwilling to serve in that capacity.If there was no provision for appointing an alternate executor then the Probate law of the state in which the deceased lived will determine the assignment of a new executor.In this type of situation, it would not be uncommon for your mother to be named by the Probate Court as the replacement executor [called an "executrix" in the case of a female].
The executor has no power while the person is living. Until they are appointed by the court, they have no power.
grand father ;)
I have been the executor of my mothers money, I pay her nursing home bills with it, she just died and i have 200,000 dollars left, do I have to pay tax on that money.
Yes, she can petition the court to be the sole executor. If there is conflict, the court may very well appoint a third party, a bank or attorney, without a vested interest in the estate. This typically costs the estate money in the form of compensation to the executor.
Mothers have eggs which the father fertilizes. Mothers are needed to nurse and educate the child.
Your mother's husband is your father. His father-in-law is your mother's father, your grandfather. Your grandfather's son is your mother's brother, and your uncle. Your uncle's daughter is your first cousin.
I am a joint executor of a property that has been left to me and my sister in our mothers will. Are we qualified to rent out this property on lease, without the need to transfer ownership.
The executor is capable of doing so. As long as it is obvious that all the debts can be resolved, the executor can make distributions.
Complain to the court immediately. The court can compel the Executor to file an accounting or replace the Executor if they will not perform their duties with expediency.
