Q: In NC, how do I sign probate annual inventory if co-executor died?
I am co-executor with my brother on my father's estate in North Carolina. My brother died this March. I need to file both 2019-2020 and 2018-2019 annual filings for the estate, but if it is a co-executor situation both are required to file. How do I update his/my status in the estate?
A: Bring this up to the Clerk, what will likely happen is that you will be appointed as the sole personal representative, this is the proper name for the executor in NC.
