The Massachusetts Decree And Order For Formal Removal of Personal Representative is a document issued by the Massachusetts Probate Court when a Personal Representative (also known as an Executor or Administrator) is removed from their position. This document is used to officially terminate the Personal Representative’s authority to act on behalf of the estate. There are two types of Massachusetts Decree And Order For Formal Removal of Personal Representative: 1) Removal by Court Order, which is when the Court orders the Personal Representative to be removed for cause, and 2) Removal by Consent, which is when the Personal Representative voluntarily resigns from their position. The Decree and Order will contain the name of the Personal Representative, the date of the Order, the date of the removal, and the reason for the removal. The Decree and Order must be filed with the Probate Court and served to the Personal Representative.
