Can an executor’s mandate be rejected after death?

Can an executor's mandate be rejected after death?

After the death of a person, the will is opened by the competent authority. This names the executor of the will and the authority officially informs the named executor of this. Within a specified period, the executor has the option of accepting or rejecting the mandate. This means that even after the death of the testator, there is an option to refuse the mandate.
