(bouvier) | ADMINISTRATION, trusts. The management of the estate of an intestate, a

of the estate of a testator who, at the time administration was granted, had
no executor.

delegate the trust; he is sometimes called surrogate, judge of probate,
register of wills and for granting letters of administration. It is to be
granted to such persons as the statutory provisions of the several states
direct. In general the right of administration belongs to him who" has the
right to the venue of the personalty: as if A make his will, and appoint B
his executor, who dies intestate, and C is the legatee of the residue of A's
estate, C has the right of administration cum testamento annexo. 2 Strange,
