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.

If a will of the deceased exists, but no executors has been appointed, or the executor appointed predeceases the testator, or refuses or becomes incapable to act, the court will grant(as a general rule, to the person having the greatest interest under the will, e. g., the residuary legatee) letters of administration with the will annexed(cum testamento annexo), a grant which is similar to probate of the will.(Jowitt, p. 1084)  1, record 2, English, - grant%20of%20administration%20with%20the%20will%20annexed

The power of an executor may be limited as to the subject-matter upon which it is to be exercised... Thus it is often convenient for an author to appoint a special "literary executor" in view of the special nature of property in his works, rather than involve the general executor in the employment and supervision of literary agents over long periods.(Williams, Mortimer and Sunnucks on Executors, Administrators and Probate, 1982, p. 33)  1, record 4, English, - literary%20executor

In general a covenant is framed so as to be at once joint and several, and then it is at the election of the covenantee in which form he shall sue upon it; whether to charge all the covenantors together or the survivor alone on the joint covenant, or to charge one alone, or the executor of a deceased covenantor, with the entire liability on the several covenant. A joint and several covenant is now usually made by the words "jointly and severally" but it will arise from any other words which have the same effect, such as we and each of us covenant; or A and B covenant for themselves and each of them.(12 Hals., 4th ed., p. 1555)  2, record 5, English, - joint%20and%20several%20covenant

Where a testator has appointed an executor of his will generally, and another executor for particular purposes, and the general and limited executors apply for probate together, the grant is made in the same instrument, but the powers of each are distinguished; i. e., probate in respect of all the estate is granted to the general executor but the powers of the other executor are limited in the manner specified in the will.(Tristram and Coote, 26th, p. 374)  1, record 9, English, - general%20grant%20of%20probate
