Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Executor of a will

After what period of time can an executor of a will be replaced for not executing a will. The Executor is not one of the two named beneficiaries. Hi doesn't return our calls or emails. Occasionally when he answers the phone, he says he's working on it. It's now been six months to execute a very simple will.
