Our intention is to analyze the legal institution of testamentary executor, which appears in various legal systems in Europe, at the beginning of the Middle Ages. What is the main significance of this institution in the will, we will try to answer exploring the private and public sources. Also, as a part of research, we will draw attention to the similar legal institutions.
