Have a new executor appointed by the court, which could be you. That person will then take over the duties and execute the will. The court can appoint an attorney or bank to serve.
The executor does not have that power. Their job is to execute the will as written.
Your brother already has enough going on. The duties of being executor would be too much. Someone else in the family should petition to be appointed executor and your brother should decline.
No
The executor can file a resignation with the court and you would petition for appointment as the successor.
If your brother is executor of the estate, yes.
ohh as i , i leave them
The executor has no authority to change a will. It is not their document and it is illegal to do so.
No, unless you have a power of attorney from your brother. And if your brother is deceased, you would have to be the executor of the estate and have the court's permission.
It is up to the brother. Most state probate codes allow the executor to charge a fee for their services. Executor duties and responsibilities can take up a lot of time. If there are only two beneficiaries, that will cut down on the executor's tasks somewhat. The brother should keep detailed time sheets for any time spent on estate matters and a deteiled account of any money spent on parking, postage, copying or other costs. The brother can then decide toward the end of his duties whether he wants to charge the estate or not. The executor's fee is a cost of the estate and should be paid before any assets are distributed so that brother and sister each pay equally.
Yes, if he has died and you are not on the lease.
No. If there is a will then the executor of the will MUST do what the will says.
