The short answer is yes, the Personal Representative of an Estate may be removed for Good Cause Shown. In order for a Personal Representative to removed, generally an Interested Person (including a creditor of the Estate) must file a Petition for Removal. There must be Good Cause Shown. In other words, your sister or brother can’t just say they want you removed because they don’t trust you or because they feel you have not given them all the information they have requested or feel they are entitled to. Often, an Interested Person may successfully allege some breach of Fiduciary Responsibility (see Fiduciary Responsibility above) and/or misappropriation of assets or non-disclosure of assets. So, Good Cause Shown means a legal reason to remove the Personal Representative, not a personal reason.
