Probate Code 8402(a)(4) provides that to be eligible to serve as an executor or administrator of an estate, a person must be a resident of the US. This decision interprets the statute as meaning that an executor or administrator must be “domiciled” in the US–that is, reside in the US with the intention of remaining there. Here, the proposed administrator–the decedent’s wife–did not even actually live in the US. She and the decedent had moved to Mexico prior to his death, and that is where she continued to live. Her other contacts with California were not an adequate substitute for residence in the US.
