Suchitra. S (Advocate) 08 June 2010
Testator - A person who has made legally valid will before his death.
Successor - legal heir of a deceased person.
A Hindu person cannot appoint a successor. It is decided by law. But a testator can appoint a successor as an administrator.

JAGDISH LAL (Practising Advocate) 11 August 2010
No a hindu male cannot appoint successor contrary to provisions of Hindu Succession Act. But in case of self acquired properties a male hindu is fully free to appoint anyone as his successor
