The Executor is appointed by the court to represent the will provisions. Commissioner and executor sign checks and spend the cash assets of the deceased. They also must aggressively collect all amounts due the estate. Some are refunds due.
If you don't have a will you don't need to go into probate court. You also don't need to answer to the court as to how you spent the estate and on what.
