A more thorough explanation:

durante absentia

Durante absentia means "during absence" in Law Latin. It refers to the management of an estate while the executor is away or not present. Sometimes, the administration of the estate continues during the executor's absence because waiting for their return would harm the settlement of the estate.

Example 1: John was appointed as the executor of his uncle's estate, but he had to leave the country for a few months. During his absence, his lawyer managed the estate and made sure everything was taken care of.

Example 2: Sarah's father passed away, and she was named the executor of his estate. However, she had to go out of town for a few weeks. During her absence, her sister managed the estate and made sure all the bills were paid.

These examples illustrate the definition of durante absentia because in both cases, the executor was not present to manage the estate. However, the administration of the estate continued during their absence to ensure that everything was taken care of and the settlement of the estate was not delayed.
