Change Executor of an estate

Silly me. Solicitors pay themselves from the estate. Only lay executors need to resort to plunder.Whilst I've no great love of solicitors I suspect there are far more lay executors 'plundering' estates than crooked solicitors doing so.You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0 -
You can't choose who administers your Dad's estate - only he can do that. Really you need to find out from your Dad why he chose to have a solicitor as his executor, as having a solicitor as executor is completely unnecessary and involves the solicitor charging fees for acting.
If you Dad decided that he doesn't need a solicitor to be his executor after all, then as has been suggested above, the simplest thing is for him to make a new will, substituting the solicitor's name with the person or people he now prefers, making sure that the new will is witnessed by two people who are NOT beneficiaries.
And not executors either
