The most fundamental principle of estate law is that the executors are trustees: they receive the estate “in trust from the deceased, and administer and then distribute it for the benefits of the beneficiaries” Most of the key features of estates law, and how the courts handle estate issues flow from the fiduciary role of estate trustee/s.
