[Sidenote: Executors.]

If no executors are named in the will, one or more may be appointed to
carry it into effect. [§3532.]

[Sidenote: Posthumous children.]

Posthumous children unprovided for by the father's will, shall inherit
the same interest as though no will had been made. [§3534.]

[Sidenote: Heirs of a devisee.]

If a devisee die before the testator, his heirs shall inherit the amount
so devised to him unless from the terms of the will a contrary intent is
manifest. [§3537.] The word heir in this section does not include the
widow of the testator, and she cannot inherit from a child to whom
property has been devised by his father, but who has died before the
father.

[Sidenote: Married women.]

A married woman may act as executor independent of her husband. [§3545.]

[Sidenote: Minors.]

If a minor under eighteen years of age is appointed executor, there is a
temporary vacancy as to him until he reaches that age. [§3546.]

[Sidenote: Administration. Who entitled. Order.]
