Letter of Testamentary

A Letter of Testamentary is essentially a document that is issued by the court or public official authorizing the executor of the will to obtain control of the deceased’s estate. So, what is this mean exactly? It means that it’s legal proof that the person who is going to be the executor has control of the estate. The executor is responsible for a variety of things. For example, it can be the executor’s job to inventory the estate, pay off outstanding debts, and distribute the estate accordingly to the will. When dealing with banks or other financial institutions, estranged family members, or anyone else, this letter is the proof that you will need to get business done accordingly. By having a letter of testamentary the whole process of dealing with an estate after a loved one has passed can be much simpler.
