The duty of administering a deceased person's estate devolves on his personal representative who is called his "executor" if he has made a will or his "administrator" if he dies intestate.

An estate of summary administration is one consisting wholly of movable property the value of which does not exceed $50,000 and where no petition for letters of administration is pending. The Official Administrator of the public Trustee Department is empowered to administer such an estate whether the deceased person has left a valid will or not.
