The Letter of Authority for Estate is a critical document in Indian estate administration that becomes necessary when a legal heir or executor needs to delegate authority for managing a deceased person's estate. This document, governed by the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and related legislation, provides a formal mechanism for authorizing someone to handle estate-related matters. It's particularly useful when the primary heir or executor is unable to personally manage all estate-related affairs, such as when they reside abroad or have other constraints. The document typically includes detailed information about the deceased, the grantor's right to delegate authority, the scope of powers being granted, and any specific limitations. It must comply with Indian legal requirements regarding format, execution, and registration where applicable. The Letter of Authority for Estate serves as evidence of authorization when dealing with banks, government offices, and other institutions involved in estate administration.
