[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.] |
