An executor even after assuming his position may resign it for any just cause.

1122.

When the duties of an executor have come to an end, the provisions of Arts. 654 and 655 apply correspondingly.

1123.

The expenses of the carrying into execution of a will fall upon the estate; but legal portions must not be diminished thereby.

Section V.
The Revocation of a Will.

1124.

A testator may at any time revoke his will wholly or partly by complying with the form provided for the making of a will.

1125.

If an earlier and a later will conflict, the earlier will is deemed to be revoked by the later one as to the parts in which they conflict.

These provisions apply correspondingly to a conflict between a will and a disposition inter vivos or another juristic act made after the making of the will.
