Executors want to replace themselves with sons when they step down

[Volna]

My oldest nephew who was named as an executor stepped down with a lame ass excuse to allow his father to weasel his way onto my mothers will with the help of my mothers attorney who he went to law school with.

My brother had the lawyer remove my name, put his and my younger brothers name on. I could have fired the lawyer, but that would have caused more trouble for my mother as she was dying, so I let the POS have way.

Big mistake as he's done nothing but cause trouble early on

He stated to my younger brother recently that when he and second brother step down. They're going to name their sons as replacements

The older brothers son who had already stepped aside and the other son who is a lawyer

Did a Google search, but it really couldn't understand the question I was asking

From what I understand. Only those named in the will as executors are executors and they can not pass their position on to others after probate etc. years later


So the question is.


Once they step down (or before). They can't name replacements for themselves can they?


Thanks in advance

I believe it’s governed n by what’s called. The non contentious probate rules . I also believe there is an Odrder of priority . Next of kin . Bu5 I know very little on this subject so wait for the clever ones
