Probate granted but one of the executors is now incapacitated

[Johnnycash66]

Probate was granted but (for reasons not relevant here) one of the properties was not transferred to the beneficiaries.

Since then the other executor has become mentally incapacitated.

Can someone advise how to proceed in that scenario please?
Will the signature of the healthy executor suffice on the deed of assent?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

IANAL and open to correction here

I think you'll need to make application to have the incapacitated executor removed. As long as you have the necessary medical reports/statements it shouldn't be too difficult.

was once in this position and High Court eventually signed off on all the documentation. Costly though.
