My personal representative on my will has died. I want to cross out his name and add the new name to the will. Would this be legal.

NO!!!!
In fact, it could have the effect of voiding the entire will. The proper way to do this (assuming you don't want to change anything else in the will) is with the use of a codicil. The codicil has to be signed and witnessed just like the will.
Scratching out things and making other marks on an original will could result in the court throwing out the entire will. |
