When the court has entered an order of proving the final account of the executor or administrator and the payment of the debts and liabilities has been shown the balance remaining in the hands of the executor will be directed by the court to be distributed according to the will of the deceased or according to the statutes, as the case may be. If the executor or administrator fails to comply with these orders, the power of the court extends to imprisonment for the disobedience by the administrator, but there must be a legal order to pay to the one lawfully entitled to the money and a failure to comply with the conditions of the order and a subsequent demand for payment. It is usually the case to require that a demand be made upon the executor or administrator a certain number of days before his failure to pay can be considered by the court and summarily punished. The three things are therefore essential - a legal order, a failure to comply and a demand.9
