An executor was named in the will of a
recently deceased person. If there was no will and the decedent left property,
the county court appointed an administrator to handle the estate business. The executor's
duties were to collect and satisfy debts and credits of the estate, make a
just and true accounting of his actions and deliver all legacies specified in
the will. The executor signed a bond to show that he would
faithfully perform his duties. Securities were co-signers on the executor's
bond unless it had been stated in the will that no security was required. The
following information comes from Livingston County, Kentucky Executors Bonds 1916 - 1963, a bound volume in the county clerk's office in Smithland. The page
number in the bond book is in parenthesis and the date is when the bond was signed.
