Re: being named executor to a will
No. The will must be amended to provide for a new executor or personal representative. The device by which this is done is called an addendum, should be prepared by a lawyer, and will have to be approved and signed by the testator [will-maker]. Often wills provide for an alternate executor should the first named be unable/unwilling to serve. Have you checked the will for such a provision?
