Best Answer

Executer or executrix Executor, whether male or female. The person who executes the Will is the Testator (if male); or Testatrix (if female). The Executor is the person who is called upon by the Testator or Testatrix to execute the last wishes of the deceased. ==Another Perspective on Gendered Terms== In the past, a woman appointed to carry out the distribution under a will was called an executrix or executress. However, language that unnecessarily defines feminine and masculine status is changing. There has been a widespread reform in the use of words that grew out of patterns of patriarchal thought and that were codified in the English language. Therefore, the term "executor" has come to be the more commonly used term for the person appointed by the court to carry out the directions of a testator in making distributions under the will. It is not necessary to further classify that person as female or male.
