A quick definition of executrix:

An executrix is an old-fashioned word that means a woman who is named in a will to make sure that the wishes of the person who wrote the will are carried out. Nowadays, we just use the word executor for anyone who does this job, no matter if they are a man or a woman.

A more thorough explanation:

Executrix

An executrix is an old-fashioned term that refers to a woman who is named in a will to carry out the wishes of the person who wrote the will. This person is responsible for making sure that everything in the will is done correctly. Nowadays, this term is not commonly used, and both men and women who are named in a will are generally referred to as an executor.

When Mary's grandmother passed away, she was named as the executrix of her grandmother's will. This meant that Mary was responsible for making sure that all of her grandmother's wishes were carried out, such as distributing her assets to her heirs and paying off any debts.

Another example of an executrix might be a woman who is named in a will to oversee the distribution of a family member's estate after they pass away.

These examples illustrate how an executrix is a person who is named in a will to carry out the wishes of the person who wrote the will. They are responsible for making sure that everything in the will is done correctly, such as distributing assets and paying off debts.
