Letter of Appointment of Executor

A Letter of Appointment of Executor helps prove you have been put in charge of someone's estate after they have passed away. As Executor, you've been given the duty to manage the estate and carry out the directions of the will; however, a court may require official documentation. A Letter of Appointment of Executor can make everything official so you can focus on the task at hand.

Use the Letter of Appointment of Executor document if:

• You've been named executor in someone's will, and they've passed away.
• You need to manage a deceased person's estate, but want formal approval from a court first.
