It is the duty of any person knowing that he has been named as executor of the will of a deceased person to preent the same to the court with the proofs thereof for probate. It is customary to do so within thirty days after the decease of the testator, and to cause such will to be proved, recorded, and to accept his appointment, or to present the will together with his refusal to accept the executorship.3
