That will depend on the wording of the will, it should specify.
If they are named in the deceased's will and the will is legal and valid, yes.
The executor is the person that performs the last will and testament of a recently deceased person. The executor is usually named in the will. It can be a family member, a legal representative, or anyone that the person chooses.
An heir is a person who is legally entitled to inherit the assets, property, or titles of a deceased person according to the laws of intestacy or through a will. The designated heirs can include family members, relatives, or individuals named in a deceased person's estate planning documents.
Possibly none. The deceased husband's rights to inherit as a named heir may have been terminated if he died before the person whose will you're reading. However, if the husband was named as an heir "per stirpes", or as a representative of his branch of the family ("to my children and their offspring"), then his estate and his lawful heirs may have a claim under the will.
A grant of probate is a legal document issued by a court that confirms the validity of a deceased person's will and gives authority to the named executor to administer the estate according to the terms of the will. It allows the executor to collect and distribute the assets of the deceased individual in accordance with the law.
They will look to the wording of the will. It should specify whether that share goes into the general estate or to the deceased named person's estate or heirs.
No, an heir is not a spouse. An heir is a person who is entitled to inherit a deceased person's assets or property according to the laws of inheritance. A spouse may be an heir if they are named in the deceased person's will or if they are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
It is the person named by the deceased (prior to their death, of course) in their will to carry out the provisions of the deceased's will. The executor must be appointed by the probate court in order to have any legal authority.
