How do I get an executor removed if they're not doing their job?
You can petition the probate court to remove an executor for specific reasons like failing to file required documents, mismanaging estate assets, or acting against the estate's interests.

The process typically involves filing formal court papers and attending a hearing where both sides can present their case.
