Where the deceased left a will, but there is no proving executor, a grant of administration "cum testamento annexo" is made. [Mellows, "The Law of Succession," 4th ed., 1983, p. 226]. 1, record 1, English, - grant%20of%20administration%20with%20the%20will%20annexed

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 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 2, English, - caeterorum%20grant
