What happens when co executors disagree about a will?
If co-executors disagree about a particular part of a will, they will have to make a joint decision if they want to execute the wishes of the deceased. In such cases, it is important that they communicate and work together. If they cannot work together, they should appoint a third-party to handle the estate.
Generally, two executors will have to agree on decisions and must sign all documents related to the distribution of a person's assets. However, a co-executor may act alone if the other co-executors agree to step down. However, this is not always possible, and disputes may arise.
In some cases, co-executors will have to agree on everything, from the value of assets to how they will handle claims against the estate. However, they cannot make decisions that are arbitrary and based on their own judgment. This means they cannot sell assets that are not in their best interests, simply because they think it's sensible. If co-executors disagree about a particular part of a will, they should seek legal advice.
