  • At what stage can an application be made to remove an executor?
  • What is the process for removal?
  • What will the courts consider in a removal application?
  • Who pays the costs of an application for removal?
  • Are there alternative options for managing a poorly performing executor?
  • The courts and independent third - party appointments - a new solution?
