PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE

In common law jurisdictions, a 'personal representative' is the generic term for an executor for the estate of a deceased person who left a will or the administrator of an intestate estate.
As a fiduciary, a personal representative has the duties of:
# loyalty
# candor or honesty
# good faith.
''Punctilio of honor'', or the highest standard of honor, is the term used to describe the level of scrupulousness that a fiduciary must abide by. ^[1]
'Types of personal representatives' include:

★ Executor or Executrix (obsolete term for females)

★ Alternate executor

★ Administrator

★ Ancilllary administrator

★ Administrator de bonis non - one acting without complete authority

★ Public administrator

★ Guardian

★ Conservator
The Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants appointed a Personal Representative (CSRT) to meet with each captive who was still being held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba, in August 2004, when the Supreme Court forced the Department of Defense to start convening Combatant Status Review Tribunals.
