My Father named me executor of a will can someone try to change it?
Upon your father's death you will need to file his will for probate. In the usual order of business the court reviews the will to make certain it meets the technical requirements for a valid will in your state. If the will is found to be valid, it's allowed and the court appoints the person named in the will as executor as long as they have not declined to serve. Others may file objections to the appointment of the executor at that time but they would need to provide compelling evidence to the court that the named executor should not be appointed.
