Convicted felons are precluded from serving as executor under Mississippi law. So you (or someone else who otherwise qualifies) would need to petition for appointment as executor.

I am a licensed Mississippi attorney practicing in the areas of probate and estate planning law. Visit fortenberrylaw.com for more information.
