Document background
A Letter of Executor of Estate is a crucial document in Canadian estate administration that formally establishes an executor's legal authority to act on behalf of a deceased person's estate. This document is typically required when dealing with banks, government agencies, and other institutions that hold or manage estate assets. It serves as proof of the executor's appointment and authority, enabling them to gather information, access accounts, and manage estate affairs. The letter must comply with provincial estate laws and is usually accompanied by supporting documentation such as the will, death certificate, and letters probate. It's particularly important in situations where formal verification of the executor's authority is required for estate administration purposes.
