Can you have the executor of a deceased estate removed and replaced
It is possible to take action against the executor; It might be necessary to do this through court proceedings.
Beneficiaries of an estate can apply to the Supreme Court of NSW to seek an order for the removal of the executor.
- The court will make orders by taking the executor’s such things into account as:
- Failure to account for estate assets.
- Unwarranted delays in estate administration.
- Lack of mental capacity.
- Failure to communicate with beneficiaries.
- The existence of a conflict of interest that affects estate administration
