If there is no co-executor, the alternate executor can take over, as most wills name an alternate in case the executor is unable to act. If there is no alternate named in the will, someone will have to apply to court to become '''administrator''' of the estate. The process is similar to the process to probate the will, described below.

He didn’t ask me first. Although I loved my brother, I didn’t want the job. I was 78 years old. Also, I live in Alberta and he lived in BC. It was going to be too difficult. So I signed a Notice of Renunciation form, and the alternate executor took over." <br>- Henry, Edmonton</div>}}
