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 1, English, - grant%20of%20administration%20with%20the%20will%20annexed

A general legacy is one payable out of the general assets of the estate. Thus it is not a gift of an identified article owned by the testator, nor is it a direction to pay monies out of a specific fund, but it is a direction to the personal representatives to pay or transfer the assets described to the legatee. A gift of an amount of money is the most common example.(Oosterhoff, p. 411)  1, record 2, English, - general%20legacy

A need for a "caeterorum" grant may arise, for example, when the assignee of part of the deceased's estate has obtained a grant limited to the property he claims, or a legatee has obtained a grant limited to the amount of his legacy, or a trustee or "cestui que trust" has obtained administration limited to the property of which the deceased was trustee. In all such cases those entitled to a general grant, whether on intestacy or with the will annexed, may take administration of the rest of the deceased's estate.(Hull & Cullity, Macdonell, Sheard and Hull on Probate Practice, 3rd ed., 1981, p. 268)  1, record 4, English, - caeterorum%20grant

The general law does not allow a legatee who predeceases the testator to take any benefit under his will. In that event the gift is said to lapse, with the consequence that it falls into residue, or if it is itself a share of residue, goes to the testator's next of kin.  2, record 5, English, - lapse
