How does one change executors of estate in Maryland?

Question

How does one change executors of estate in Maryland?



Answer

Before or after death? Before death, one can simply make changes to the will by codicil or new will and identify a new executor/personal representative. After death, the personal representative petitions for appointment. Once the court has appointed a personal representative, they serve until removed. A personal representative can voluntarily withdraw and allow someone else to step in that role, or if heirs/others want the personal representative removed they must petition the court and get a court order removing the existing PR and naming someone else.
