DURANTE ABSENTIA

durante  absentia  (d[y]<<schwa>>-ran-tee  ab-sen-shee-<<schwa>>).  [Law  Latin]  During

absence. • This term referred to the administration of an estate while the executor was out of the

county  or  otherwise  absent.  During  the  executor’s  absence,  the  administration  sometimes

continued because a delay until the executor’s return would impair the estate settlement. [Blacks Law 8th]
