Question:  Can an executor be removed?

Answer:   Yes, under certain circumstances an executor may be removed for "gross misconduct or mismanagement in the performance of his duties". Texas Probate Code section 222(b)(4). There are other grounds listed in the code that we should review. For example, if the executor fails to timely file the required inventory of the property of the estate. Texas Probate Code section 222(a)(1)(B).
