My mother is 95 years old and now my brother (the designated executor) doesn't want to do that. Do we have to change the will, or can the surviving children agree on that?

Only your mother can change her Will. When she dies and the Will is submitted to probate (proving that it is the Will of the person who died), your brother may decline to serve.
