Executor from another state.

Executor from another state.

• A. Caveat
• B. Attestation clause
• C. Foreign executor
• D. Solemn form

Answer: (C)

Being named as the person in charge of winding up an estate who lives in another state creates a specific label for that role: a foreign executor. The term distinguishes someone appointed outside the jurisdiction where probate is being sought, and it signals the need for recognizing or admitting that executor’s authority in the local court (often through ancillary probate or letters testamentary under applicable rules). The other options refer to different elements of probate matters rather than the status of an executor from another state: a caveat is a notice of challenge to probate, an attestation clause is part of the will about witnesses, and solemn form is a type of formal probate proceeding to prove the will.
