Yes, you can petition the court for appointment as Personal Representative (executor) of the estate and your cousin can file his waiver of appointment and consent to your appointment with the court. There are many reasons why the person named in the will refuses or is unable to serve. As executor/personal representative, you are entitled to legal counsel which is paid for by the decedent's estate.
