Executor of a will

If a will was made up and the executor declines to do it for the family. What happens? Would the immediate decendants of the family take over (sibblings) the executors row, or does it

get done by the courts?

Re: Executor of a will

The Executor can always refuse to act, if he or she has not intermeddled in the estate.. If there is no alternate executor named the Surrogate rules prescribe who has the priority to apply for a grant of representation. If the estate is an Alberta estate you may call me at 780 435-7729.
