→Do I have to act as executor?
If two people are named as co-executors, one of the co-executors can decide they do not want the job. As of March 31st, 2014 it is no longer necessary for a co-executor to complete the “Renunciation of Probate” form. A co-executor’s right to be named as executor on a grant of probate is reserved if they don’t renounce.
If there is no co-executor, the alternate executor can take over. If there is no alternate named in the Willwill, someone will have to apply to become estate administrator of the estate. It is best to agree to act as executor only if you feel you can do the job well. Being an executor takes time.
