Sunan ad-Darimi 3235 — on what is permissible and not permissible
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: "الْوَصِيُّ أَمِينٌ فِيمَا أُوصِيَ إِلَيْهِ بِهِ".
It is narrated from Mughira: Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The executor is the trustee of that which is bequeathed to him.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 3234)
A "wasi" is called the person in whose name a will (wasiyyah) is made, or the one who is entrusted with the execution of the will. Additionally, the one who makes the will is also referred to as "wasi," but here the intended meaning is the first one.
