To resign, an executor must draft a resignation letter, sign the document, and notify the estate's beneficiaries.

If an estate is not in probate, the court does not need to be notified.
California probate law permits the removal of an estate executor if justified reasons are presented. This process involves submitting a formal Petition to Remove Administrator of Estate to the probate court, detailing the grounds for removal and possibly proposing a successor.
