As I am a layman, not an attorney, nor in the legal profession, this will be a layman's answer, until improved by a professional. The fact that you asked about "ethical" duties, indicates that you are aware of the fact that an Executrix, or Executor [aka Administrator], has legal duties which take precidence. It is my opinion that the ethical duty of an Administrator [male or female] is to diligently work to accurately comply with all legal requirements and duties as prescribed by the laws of the state in which the deceased legally resided at the time of death. Once that is considered, then any other decisions [ethical] should, as carefully as possible, be based on the needs, wants, and desires of the legal beneficiaries of the will. Generally, that will fall into the area of the division of personal property which the deceased did not specifically leave to a specific individual in the will, but instead left to all to be divided equally. This can be a very thorny problem as there may be more than one beneficiary wanting the same item(s). This is where the ethical considerations of the Administrator really comes into play, and should be settled with as much consideration as is humanly [and humanely] possible, for all involved. The sad part is that prior to the administrator making a division of that personal propertery, one or more of the beneficiaries may have decended [like a herd of stampeding cattle] on the house, and grabbbed all they could, and making a fair distribution of that missing property can be near to, if not, impossible. If you are in this position, good luck!

What reason would one executor want to become the executrix who proves a will and not notify the other?
I may be taking your question the wrong way, but it appears you are confused about Executor and Executrix. Executor is male and Executrix is female. It's quite common for someone leaving a Will to name 2 or more people as an Executor or Executrix. The reason for this is by the time the person dies one of the Executors or Executrix's may have passed on themselves; too ill to take on the responsibility or have the legal right to deny carrying the Executor or Executrix duties out. Each Heir in the Will should legally get a copy of that Will. If this hasn't happened you only have to contact the lawyer the Executor/Executrix is seeing and ask for a copy. It will all come out in the wash because ALL Wills have to be Probated. Probated means that all debts have to be paid off, plus taxes on any properties, homes and personal taxes. Once this is done then it's up to the Executor or Executrix to keep all receipts and expenditures up to date and usually do so by simple bookkeeping methods which then can be approved by a CGA or by a lawyer. After the Will has been probated the lawyer will have their office contact the Heirs and call them in and hand out the monies or property rights to those involved.
