How Do You Disqualify A Brother As An Executor Of A Family Estate?
How do you disqualify a brother as an executor of a family estate?
The best way to disqualify a brother as an executor is to outline the reasons in your will.
A common misconception about estate planning is that it's only for the wealthy. But even if you don't have millions of dollars in assets, your estate is worth preparing for. Estate planning helps ensure that your wishes are followed after death and can protect loved ones from legal problems with creditors or lawsuits. It also helps keep costs and taxes down for those who inherit your estate.
In order to make sure your wishes are carried out, you need to name someone as your executor, or personal representative. The executor is responsible for settling your estate according to the terms of your will (if you don't have a will, the court appoints someone to handle it). If you're married, the person named as executor should be your spouse. If neither of you has a living spouse, then one of your children should be named as executor; this person should also be named as successor personal representative, so that he or she can take over if something happens to the original executor before the estate is settled.
