Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

No will or immediate family

What happens after a relative dies and there is no immediate family, no will, and someone contests the choice of executor? The one named executor was chosen by the deceased in order to keep certain relatives from taking control of the estate as they would use it to their own benefit, however they still have the right to deny executorship... What should we do, and what could happen, if they deny or refuse to sign the paper naming the person executor?

Re: No will or immediate family

I am confused. You say there was no will, but the decedent somehow named their personal representative, before dying? Perhaps if you could provide more detail about the situation, someone here could help you.
