How can the named executor be changed in the will of a testator who is now mentally incompetent?
The named executor cannot be changed since the testator is no longer legally competent. No one can make changes to the will. When the testator dies the court will consider objections. If necessary, interested parties can object to the appointment of the named executor if they believe the testator no longer wanted that person to serve. The court will appoint a successor executor if the objections to the appointment succeed or if the named executor cannot serve.

The Executor has read and divulged the contents of a Will to beneficiaries while the testator still lives. What should we do?

If the will has not been changed at the time of death to name a new executor, objections should be made to the appointment of that executor and someone else should petition to be appointed. The evidence that the named executor breached the confidentiality of the testator by revealing the contents of the will should be brought forth at that time as evidence that they cannot be trusted.
