Executor of will

It is my understanding that it is NOT compulsory for a testastor to appoint an executor for the will of his estate. I have seen in many cases that when there is a will, though there is no executor appointed, the legatees get a letter of administration by the courts. I want to know in which cases it is either compulsory or advisable for the testator to appoint an executor for his will.please enlighten me about the advantages and disadvantages of of appointing an executor of will. If possible, pl cite the relevent sections of I.S. Act

Many people choose their surviving spouse as executor, since that person usually has the greatest knowledge of their financial affairs as wellas the family situation. Some people name several persons to serve as coexecutors, to ensure that the estate will be handled fairly andhonestly. Frequently, those making a will choose a professional such as an attorney or trust company to act as a coexecutor and to assistwith complex issues of the estate.
