My mother passed the end of last year. Her will splits the estate between her children. She appointed 2 children as her Executors, because they live close by. One of the children cannot serve as executor because of his legal status, being a convicted felon. He was told by the estate atty he cannot serve in this capacity but keeps stalling and is not voluntarily removing his name as Executor. Why can't the attorney just remove him as a named Executor as its evident he would never get approval by the courts to serve in this capacity, and continue with the one executor who can still serve in that capacity? WE have been told that if attorney files paperwork without him voluntarily signing off it may take 6 more weeks to get things rolling and she cannot be the family or estate attorney if that has to be done. I don't understand this procedure and since I am not an executor, I cannot talk to the estate atty. one on one and get answers.
