Similar to an executor, a co-executor can be removed in court if the judge is offered sufficient evidence that the co-executor is breaching their fiduciary duty or incompetent, among other reasons. Such occurrences can include failure to comply with the will’s terms, non-cooperation with a beneficiary, mismanaging or neglecting estate assets, displaying hostility towards the beneficiaries. Additionally, if the co-executor becomes incapacitated or has a conflict of interest, or abuses the discretion of the beneficiaries or anyone involved with the will, the court may see fit to remove them from the position.
