Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Can I change who I named executor of estate before I die?

Prior to your passing, you can almost always change the terms of your testamentary document.

An irrevocable trust may have some limitations, but they can also be overcome, especially in the case of duress as you hacve described.

I do wonder why you feel you are unable to sell the home without your children's permission if you are 100% title holder.

Re: Can I change who I named executor of estate before I die?

You can always change the executor of your estate, as the will has no effect until your death. You may have signed other papers as well, though, that take effect during your life, such as powers of attorney or beneficiary forms. See an attorney about making the change, and review what you signed with the attorney to make sure everything is still in your name and will go to the right people at your death.

It is an easy matter to prepare a new will and revoke the old one, thus replacing your son as executor. See an estate planning attorney as soon as possible.
