Solved

To appoint an administrator for your estate in California, you'll typically need to do so within your will or trust. You would have to name the person who you want to manage the estate that will pass. If they are managing the will, they are the executor (CA Prob Code § 8420). If they are managing a trust, then they are named as the trustee. It's done directly in the document, as they would then usually only take over once you pass.
