When a will is annexed it means that the deceased person left an incomplete will did not name an executor or when the appointed executor refuses to probate and the court stepped in and appointed an administrator.
An executor/administrator is the person who handles the estate of the deceased i.e. pay debts, distribute money/property etc.
