Removal and replacement of executor (if deemed necessary): If the court finds the executor unfit to fulfill their duties or responsible for the unnecessary delays, we ask for their removal and appointment of a new executor who will carry out the necessary tasks promptly. We sincerely hope that you will review our complaint with utmost consideration and address the issues raised to ensure the proper closure of the estate. Our family has been enduring this prolonged process for far too long, and we seek nothing but a fair resolution. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We trust that your intervention will lead to a satisfactory resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name]
