Re: the will of mother-in-law
Under Ky law, a will must be "probated." This
means that it must be filed
with the district court and
proven to be authentic. The judge
will then appoint someone to carry out
the provisions of the will. This person
is referred to as the "executor (male)" or
"executrix (female)."
A codicil is an amendment to a will.
I hope this is helpful for you.
