Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

there are no executors in Florida. There are personal representatives. The Court is charged with responsibility to appoint a replacement. either a family member or a professional administrator such as an attorney

I agree with Attorney Stein. To add to his response, another heir or beneficiary can Petition to be Personal Representative if the only one named is unable or unwilling to be the Personal Representative. The Court has the ultimate say--it will first look at the Will for the person named as preference; the burden to show that the person named is unable or unwilling to be the Personal Representative falls on the Petitioner.
