  • 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.

If, after service of the citation, the executor or administrator appears and files his settlement he shall be fined for his failure to file settlement at the proper time in a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, unless he satisfies the court that it was impracticable for him to file settlement. All fines shall be paid into the county treasury and the executor or administrator and his sureties are liable for the same upon their bonds.
