HALIFAX—The girlfriend of a gunman who carried out a mass shooting in Nova Scotia has renounced her right to be the executor of his will for an estate initially valued at more than $1.2 million.

The woman—whom police have referred to as the gunman’s common law spouse — was named as the executor of his estate in the last will and testament of Gabriel Wortman.
