Can An Estate Executor Be Removed?

Posted by Ted Hoppe | Apr 27, 2022 | 0 Comments

Every now and then I am consulted about a situation involving dissatisfaction with how an Estate is being administered. Sometimes it's the Executor who is being challenged and sometimes it's a beneficiary who does not agree with something that the Executor is doing.

My encouragement to beneficiaries is to be patient and the talk with the Executor - don't assume they are acting inappropriately. Being an Executor can be a difficult and thankless job. 

The other common reason stated by heirs/beneficiaries is a dissatisfaction with what the Will says about the distribution of the property in the Estate. For a discussion about challenging a Will, you can see my article on Challenging a Will
