Re: estate and trust settlement
This can be a somewhat complex area of the law. The starting point would be a review of your Mother's will by an estate attorney. Provisions for successor executor need to be examined. You mention "co-trustees." The nature and type of trust needs to be considered in the analysis. The short answer to your question is "it depends." You need to meet with an attorney. A full analysis of the probate documents and a discussion with the attorneys involved is likely the best route to resolution.
