Probate: entitlement to grant when there is a will but no executor | Practical Law

This note outlines the role of the personal representative and considers the problem of identifying who may act as personal representative when a person dies, leaving a will, but it is unclear who may apply for a grant. This may be because the will does not appoint an executor or there is no executor able and willing to act as personal representative.
