Terms Used In Alabama Code 43-2-531

  • Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

After stating such account, the court must issue a citation to such executor or administrator to appear on a day therein named and file his accounts and vouchers for settlement or that the account so stated will be passed, which must be served on him at least 10 days before the day named therein; and must also give notice of such settlement by publication, as in case of settlements voluntarily made by executors and administrators; and, if on the day named such executor or administrator fails to appear and file his accounts and vouchers for settlement, as required by law, the court must proceed to examine the account so stated and audit and, if necessary, restate the same.
