Can I appoint substitute executor(s) who will only replace another specific executor?

Based on the platform, the default clause is for the substitute executor(s) to replace ANY of the executor(s) should they die before you, refuses to act or is unable to act, or his/her appointment does not take effect for any other reason.

Nevertheless, if say for example you have joint executors A and B but want C, D or E to only replace A while X, Y or Z to only replace B, 

you can do so by keying in the following under "Other Instructions" in the "Select Clauses" tab;

Should {Relationship}, {Name}, {ID no.}, who is my executor die before me, refuses to act or is unable to act, or his/her appointment does not take effect for any other reason, I specifically appoint the following personnel in order of priority to replace him/her and ONLY him/her as one of the joint executors:

(a) {Relationship}, {Name}, {ID no.}
(b) {Relationship}, {Name}, {ID no.} ....
Should {Relationship}, {Name}, {ID no.}, who is my executor die before me, refuses to act or is unable to act, or his/her appointment does not take effect for any other reason, I specifically appoint the following personnel in order of priority to replace him/her and ONLY him/her as one of the joint executors:
(a) {Relationship}, {Name}, {ID no.}
(b) {Relationship}, {Name}, {ID no.} ....

Following the example above:

Remember to leave the substitute executor(s) section blank if you intend for the substitution to go according to this instead.
