Hope this finds you all well. I am named as executor in a client's will. For a variety of reasons, I will not be able to serve. I know the client can amend her will to name the successor as the primary executor but, if she does not want to do that, can I sign a renunciation now and simply give it to her for the successors to file when the time comes? On an unrelated topic, can anyone tell me where all the postage paid envelopes I send to the Surrogate's court go? I cannot remember the last time I rec'd letters testamentary from the court in the envelope I provided, yet I receive emails from the clerks reminding me that postage paid envelopes must be sent to the court.
