First, no one is an executor until the will has been allowed by the probate court and the court has appointed the executor. Until appointed by a court, an executor has NO power.

Once appointed, the executor MUST follow the provisions of the will regardless of their personal feelings. The executor has no personal interest in the estate. They perform their responsibilities under the supervision of the probate court and will be held personally liable for any misbehavior.


Every person has the right to decide what will happen to their property when they die. Those wishes are expressed in a will. Only a judge can modify the terms of a will after the testator has died..

What does memorials may be directed to the family mean?

Many times, when a person dies, the family requests that memorials be made to a charity (that is, money donated in the deceased's name to a charity). Occassionally, the memorials are requested to be sent directly to the family. In other words, if you wish to donate money in memory of the deceased, send it directly to the family.


My sister was appointed as executor of my mother's will and has not executed the requests. It has been 3 years since she passed. I am second executor on the will. What can I do to enforce the will?

Your mother's will should be probated. The court will decide if the will is valid and then will appoint the executor. Since your sister is the named executor the court will want either to appoint her or will want her to decline to be appointed in writing. You can then petition to be appointed. Once the will has been allowed and the executor has been appointed the distribution of the property must be carried out according to the law, to the provisions of the will and in a timely manner. Creditors will have an opportunity to make a claim. If your mother owned any real estate her estate MUST be probated in order for title to pass to her heirs. If she had bank accounts in her name alone the executor will be given authority by the court to close the accounts and distribute the proceeds. If your mother owned any such property you should seek the advice of an attorney.
