The will normally names an alternate executor who would take over if the first executor dies or declines the appointment. The alternate executor would petition the probate court for appointment. In the event there is no alternate named, or if that alternate does not want to or cannot be appointed, then one of the residuary legatees under the will may petition for appointment as "administrator cum testamento annexo" or "administrator with the will annexed". All of the residuary legatees have the right to be appointed, so they will all have to agree on a successor.
No will shall fail as a results of the executor not being available. The court will appoint an attorney (at attorney rates!) or a bank to be the executor if no other interested person is available.
