QUESTION
Public Administrator or Successor Executor
Asked on Aug 19th, 2019 on Wills and Probate - New York
More details to this question:
The family is having problems with the executor and we want to have the executor removed. Removal papers were submitted and the Court recommended appointing a public administrator. Is there a cost for this? The papers clearly stated that the qualifying alternate executor is willing to step in. Is it standard procedure for the Courts to appoint a public administrator? Thanks.

It is standard to appoint the Public Administrator if no one can get along and/or no one qualifies to serve. The PA bills legal fees and gets a commission.
