Re: will
Unless there is a named alternate, an interested party will need to file a petition to admit the will to probate and nominate a person (or persons) to be appointed by the court as the executor/personal representative, and the petitioner will need to give other interested parties an opportunity to be heard on the appointment.

Re: will
I agree with Mr. Steuart. However, if you are merely asking if you need to change your will if the executor has passed away, the answer is "no" if everything else remains the same and you have an alternate named.
