The Administrator or Executor sale is -- a sale held to sell the house, property and whatever other personal belongings are left after a person is declared deceased.The sale is normally carried out prior to the reading of the Will as the monies gained from the sale are used to: 1)Pay a person's debt and 2)Added to the estate monies and divided between the beneficiaries. In that order. This is normally carried out by the person named in the Will of the deceased to take care of his affairs. In the case that there is no Will or nobody is named then an official such as sheriff or attorney of the court would carry it out.
The name I have listed is the name of the deceased.
The term "insolvent" means estate is unable to pay the debts.
