Serving as an estate executor is never a compulsory duty; the executor always has the right to resign, no matter what the reason. In fact, executor resignations are a common part of estate administration and the probate process.he easiest path is when the will instructs the probate judge as to the person who should act as the successor executor. However, not all wills identify a successor executor, which makes the appointment task a bit more burdensome for the probate judge.
Determine the identity of the executor of the estate. During probate, the court will appoint an executor or personal representative to oversee the day-to-day process of managing the estate and distributing its assets. This person will have the authority to close a decedentâs accounts. If the decedent left a valid will that is approved by the probate court, the document will generally identify the person the decedent wanted to oversee the estate and she will have the authority to close the account.
