For a definition of reality in contrast to hyperreality, Baudrillard represents many of the hyperrealists with his claim that the real is fictional, a phantasy generated by doubling the signs of an unlocatable reality (1994: p. 81).
DEFINITION of 'Personal Representative'. The executor or administrator for the estate of a deceased person. A Personal Representative is a fiduciary of the beneficiaries of the estate, which imposes upon him or her the duty to act in good faith, and in the best interests of the beneficiaries. Where the deceased person has left a Will, the law requires the Personal Representative to implicitly follow the terms of the Will.
Widows, or surviving spouses, have certain rights concerning the management of a deceased spouse's estate. A widow may be the first choice as personal representative, unless her deceased spouse named someone else as executor in his will.Because probate courts place importance on honoring a testator's last wishes, a named executor in a will has priority over a surviving spouse.lthough other family members may petition a probate court for appointment as personal representative, the surviving spouse has priority. In other words, if the surviving spouse wishes to take on the role of estate administrator, all other family members' petitions take a back seat.
