    Just tell her to get in touch with the probate office if she wants to be a 'working executor'. All your one sentence answers are not making things any clearer at all. If she wants it, tell her to go and do it.
    By the way, there's a Deaths board here where your question could have been answered and still can....Probably in much the same way as you already have been though.

    Hi I have had a look at the probate forms on the gov.co.uk site. I can see what my aunt has done she put my mum in the executors not applying section and tick C power reserved. Reason C if any executors are having power reserved you MUST notify them of application in writing. The grant of representation will only be issued to those people named as applicant's in section A. 
    But did NOT NOTIFY my mum in writing. So how does my mum reverse the power reserved. Thank you

    That took a while. I told you about that some 6 pages ago!
    I also pointed out that reversing the Power Witheld may or may not be possible at this stage - after Probate is granted.
    Why is she not contacting the Probate Office? Either acept the situation, or take some action!
    Repeating your concerns endlessly here will get you and her no further.
