Question

My Brother and I are Co-Executors of my mother's estate. My brother recently passed away. Does this make me sole executor or does my brother's executorship go to his eres?

Answer

You become the sole Executor unless the will provides for alternates.

Answer

I agree with Arnold, Unless the Will specifies otherwise and names a successor to an Executor who dies, resigns or becomes disabled, you serve alone.
