What Happens Next? If you renounce being executor and there are other executors named in the will, they will need to take on the jobs that would have been yours. If you are the only executor mentioned, then the beneficiaries must come together to choose an administrator for the estate.
Some lack the financial ability to deal with creditors, understand estate tax matters, and perform effective accounting to satisfy beneficiaries that things have been properly handled. Also, having multiple executors adds greatly to the amount of paperwork.
If there is no named executor, a person, usually a friend, family member or another interested party, may come forward and petition the court to become the administrator of the estate by obtaining letters of administration. If no one comes forward on their own, the court may ask a person to serve as an administrator.
If no alternate is named, then whoever is next of kin after you may petition the court to act as executor. However, if no one wishes to act as executor, including close friends and distant relatives, then the court may nominate a creditor to the estate as a potential executor.
