Please clarify the constitution of the account.  Whether it is a Trust Account or HUF?

Pawan Choudhary,

1)  Who appointed the "Executor to the estate of .........", whether by any competent court of law or by anyother mode.

2) If the executor has been appointed by order of any competent court of law by an order in any proceedings of a case, then court itself is competent to issue directions in regard to working of executor in management of estate of the deceased.
