  • Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
  • Executor: includes administrator where the subject matter applies to an administrator. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • 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.

Receipts and disbursements of the executor or administrator, subsequent to the filing of his final settlement, shall be reported to the court before discharge. A settlement thereof, together with an estimate of the expenses of closing the estate, shall be made by the court and included in the order of distribution, or the court may treat the statement as a supplementary settlement and act on the same with or without notice but, if the court determines that notice is required or the executor or administrator or his sureties so request, notice shall be given in the manner prescribed by the court.
