Who is appointed by the county court to settle the estate of a deceased person who died without leaving a will?

  1. Administrator

  2. Affidavit

  3. Agent

  4. Adjustable-rate Mortgage

The correct answer is: Administrator

When a person dies without a will, they are considered to have died "intestate". In this case, the county court will appoint an administrator to handle the distribution of the deceased person's assets. An affidavit is a written statement made under oath, often used in court proceedings. An agent is someone who acts on behalf of another person or entity. An adjustable-rate mortgage is a type of loan used to purchase a home with a fluctuating interest rate. These options are not related to settling a deceased person's estate, making them incorrect answers.
