Probably not if that's the only reason and if no executor is willing to removed voluntarilly. A decedent's choice of executors, no matter how many, is his and his alone just as is the manner in which his estate is divided. It will be upheld by a court unless the two cannot get along causing problems in the estate. Most states have statutes that outline the circumstances which call for the removal of an executor. These mostly have to do with the executor not doing the job properly to the detriment of the estate. The extra expense, while it may unnecessarilly reduce the estate, is not such a circumstance at least in New Jersey, but probably in most states as well.
