Death of Executor

Please does anyone know for sure?
OH is one of 2 executors who have been granted probate in order to deal with an estate.
The property which forms the bulk of the estate is in the process of being sold, but contracts not yet exchanged.
The other executor was dealing with the day to day paperwork as OH is not local and still working.
Sadly the other executor has passed away this week.
Will OH as the only remaining executor be able to complete all the necessary administration under the existing probate or will he need to obtain probate in his sole name?
Anything else he needs to be aware of?
Thankyou for any advice

Suggests the remaining executors just carry on.
Good idea for OH to have a will with named executors.0 -
I would also get those registering the death of the other executor to get you a few copies of the death certificate in case anyone asks for proof the OH is now the sole executor eg land reg documents that need signing to release funds and the executors account if there is one.0
