Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Removing executor as his status has changed

My Aunt left a will to several heirs. Her living brother, who was not a heir at the time of her death, appointed himself executor. He had a son who was a heir who died. The son left his part to his mother. This was nearly two years ago. The uncle has put large sums of money in non-interest bearing accounts. He also has become a heir via his wife. Do we have grounds to remove him. None of the heirs are happy with him. All issues have been taken care of pertaining to the estate. Everything is in the clear. He is putting off passing out the assetts because he wants to see what the new tax laws are going to do. He is stuck on just wanting to write one set of checks. We feel he is incompetant. Thanks for any help you might be able to send our way. [email protected]

Re: Removing executor as his status has changed

You can move to have him removed, and another person substituted. You'll need a lawyer for that, since probate litigation can get procedurally tricky.
