In general an executor cannot assign his office because it is an office of personal trust. However section 7 of the "Administration of Estates Act 1925" provides for the automatic transmission of the office on death through proving executors. This important provision must now be considered. 1. Executor by representation. Say X is the sole, or last surviving, executor of a testator T. X has obtained probate of T's will. X dies, having by his will appointed Y to be his executor, and Y obtains probate of X's will. Y is the executor of X and the executor by representation of T.
