DE BONIS NON. This phrase is used in cases where the goods of a deceased person
have not all been administered. When an executor or administrator has been
appointed, and the estate is not fully settled, and the executor or
administrator is dead, has absconded, or from any cause has been removed, a
second administrator is appointed to perform the duty remaining to be done, who
is called an administrator de bonis non, an administrator of the goods not
administered and he becomes by the appointment the only representative of the
deceased.
