I presume your mother could decline to be executor at any time.
Is there a procedure whereby you can legally be made executor in advance of your father's death - even if he does not want it ?Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -

If you look at section 3.7 of the PA1 form, reason E for not applying is that:-
Power of attorney: they will appoint another person to act as their
attorney to take a Grant of Representation on their behalf.0 -

Correct, which is why I suggested getting a separate POA for that specific purpose. It can’t be done in advance though.0 -

Rich2808:-I found this renunciation form online - presumably she can just complete and sign this with me named as the other (substitute) executor and submit this to our local probate registry and then I can act as executor?
You say "with me named as the other executor" I have the renunciation form, but nowhere does it mention naming a replacement executor.
So whats the procedure for nominating another executor ?
How is this achieved, this has got me stumped ?0 -

I am in a slightly different situation as the will names my mother as executor but if she declines or is unable or fails to act then I become the executor. So I am named in the will as a substitute - if she renounces.
Its obviously different in your case if there is no other named executor bar your mother. In that case if she renounced another beneficiary could take over - if there is no other beneficiary then it gets more complicated.0 -
