More details to this question:
The executrix in my matter in which I am a beneficiary has decided she no longer wants to fulfil that role. a new (proposed) executrix is willing to be instated but all attempts to contact the current executrix so she can sign the relevant form denouncing her have been unsuccessful. An attorney has informed me that the matter of instating a new executrix can be done even though the current executrix cannot be located. Is this possible?

Please be guided by that attorney's advice. The court may well accept an affidavit that the current executor has gone missing.
