No, generally, an agent under a POA cannot make changes to testamentary instruments (wills). Once the testator has died the POA is extinguished and the named executor must be appointed by the court. Besides the testator, while living, only a judge can make changes to a testator's will.

Can an ombudsman override a judge's decision?

No, an ombudsman cannot override a judge's decision. An ombudsman typically investigates complaints about public services and can recommend actions or improvements but does not have the authority to change or annul judicial rulings. Their role is more about ensuring accountability and fairness within institutions, rather than having legal power over court decisions.


Can you have two executors?

Yes. You may name co-executors in your will. However, if you do so you should make certain that the two get along well and that your instructions in the will are very clear. You might consider naming an arbitrator, your attorney perhaps, if the two have a disagreement they cannot resolve.


Can one sibling be selected to be executor of the estate even though all 5 children have been assigned as executors of the estate?

* Generally there are only one or two Executors to a Will. Executor (male) or Executrix (female.) It is odd there should be five Executors. An Executor/Executrix has the right to decline to handle the wishes of the said Will and this is the reason for basically having a back up Executor or Executrix. The group of siblings should get together and decide who will be handling the Will as Executor or Executrix. If one is chosen then they should get a fee for their trouble which is anywhere from one to four percent of the entire Estate (property, monies, etc.) and that will be up to the other siblings unless otherwise stipulated in the Will.
