Yes, an executor can be removed from their position under certain circumstances. If the executor is found to be acting against the best interests of the estate or the beneficiaries, they can be removed by the probate court. The court may also remove an executor if they are unable or unwilling to carry out their duties or if they have committed a breach of fiduciary duty, such as stealing from the estate or failing to distribute assets according to the will.

In order to remove an executor, a beneficiary or interested party must file a petition with the probate court and provide evidence to support their claim. The court will then hold a hearing to determine whether there is sufficient cause to remove the executor. If the court finds that the executor should be removed, they will appoint a new executor to take over the administration of the estate.

It is important to note that removing an executor can be a difficult and time-consuming process. It is recommended to consult with a probate attorney if you believe that an executor should be removed from their position.
