Full question:
My mother's will, (dad predeceased her) designated my brother as Executor and I as Alternate Executor. My mother has passed on and we are now in the process of probating the will. To expedite this process I have been presented with a 'waiver of process' so that my brother can probate the will without my co-signing. I have no problem with this. My concern and question to you is this. In the unfortunate situation that my brother passes on after I have waived executor rights to him, will I still have executor rights? I'm hoping yes.

Answer:
No execution of a Waiver of Process will not have any affect on your being appointed as alternate executor in the event your Brother ceases to act as first executor.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
