用法筆記

Frequently used with a possessive noun (e.g., 'the executor of her will') or in the phrase 'act as executor'. When no executor is named in a will, a court appoints an administrator — the two roles are similar but differ in how they are chosen.

常見錯誤

❌The court named an executor because there was no will.
✅The court named an administrator because there was no will.
💡An executor is named in a will; an administrator is appointed by the court when there is no will.
❌She was the executer of her father's will.
✅She was the executor of her father's will.
💡The correct legal term is 'executor', not 'executer'.
