  • A ltter of testmentary is issued during probate of an estate. According to lawdictionary.com: "letters testamentary a document issued by the court clerk which states the authority of the executor of an estate of a person who has died. It is issued during probate of the estate as soon as the court approves the appointment of the executor named in the will and the executor files a security bond if one is necessary (most well-drafted wills waive the need for a bond). Certified copies of the letters are often required by banks and other financial institutions, the federal government, stock transfer agents or other courts before transfer of money or assets to the executor of the estate." Based on the above, I'd say try taking the will to the court clerk in your jurisdiction and ask the clerk what you need to do. They are very helpful. Better yet call fist. In the U.S., call the Probate Court Clerk's office in your county.
