My fan palms do that all the time. I remove them as close to the trunk as
possible, but carefully since those really sharp spines can tear a finger off.

I just purchased a rather nice fan palm and 2 of the 4 palm fronds are now
completely brown. It's been in the ground about a month, planted it with a
combination of sand, lady bug potting soil & "natural" soil. I haven't
watered it too much, (weekly, if no rain) I planted it at the same time I
planted a couple of red yuccas which are doing beautifully.

Any ideas, suggestions, comments???

Thanks, BC
