Only a testator can change her will while she is living. Once a testator has died, the provisions set forth in the will can only be modified by a judge. An executor named in the will has no authority until they have been appointed by a court. This named executor has shown they are dishonest. The other beneficiaries should submit the will for probate and petition to be appointed the executor. The court should be made aware of the named executors suggestion that the provisions in the will should be changed. That is a violation of law.


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.

How do you take your name off a Will?

The only person who can change a Will is the living testator. Once the testator has died the Will cannot be changed. You cannot change another person's Will. If you are listed as an heir you can waive your rights in the estate if you do not want your gift. The executor and the attorney who is handling the estate can help.


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.
