Hello ****, estate law can be complex and varies by location. Could you please specify your location and elaborate a bit more on your situation? For example, are you dealing with wills, trusts, or probate issues?

Hello ****,
The executor of an estate is usually specified in the deceased person's will. If your father's wife didn't appoint one in her will, the court may appoint one. This can depend on your location. Can you please provide it?
