Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 7561

  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
  • Probate: Proving a will
If such executor or administrator, being heir or devisee, commits such trespass or waste, on proof thereof before the judge of probate, he shall be liable to the same extent as the heirs or devisees. In both cases, the damages, when recovered by the executor or administrator or adjudged against him by the judge of probate, shall be accounted for in the administration account.
