FAQ
You'll have to file a request in the county where the deceased person lived at the time of their death. The paperwork will ask for you to be officially acknowledged as the legal executor representing the estate. In addition to the petition, you'll need to file a valid will, if one exists, and the death certificate.
That being said, it is never a good idea to delay the inevitable. California Probate Code section 8001 specifies that the executor has 30 days after the decedent's date of death and after learning they are the nominated executor to petition the court for administration of the estate.
It can take several weeks or even several months to get a letter of testamentary. This often depends on the state the deceased lived in and how busy the courts are when you begin the process.
Letters of Administration is the form that the Judge signs confirming that he has given that person legal authority to represent the estate. Sometimes the bank will require this form before releasing funds.
Date should be dated within the last 12 months to be valid. Company signatory. Registered business name, address, and number. Clearly outline the rights and responsibilities given to third-party.
There are currently two types of Letters the Master of the High Court (“The Master”) will issue namely a Letter of Authority (for estates valued below R 250 000.00) or a Letter of Executorship (for estates valued above R 250 000.00).
The Letters will be issued by the probate court or register once the Personal Representative qualifies by filing an Acceptance of Appointment and a bond if bond is required.
During the initial probate proceeding, after the court has determined that there is no will, it will appoint an administrator for the estate. The person who serves in this role will have many duties, including: Preserving the decedent's assets. Satisfying all valid creditor claims.
Often this requires providing evidence such as birth certificates or marriage documents. What's more, you may need to provide proof that no will exists, which could take quite some time if all family members cannot be located quickly or if relatives disagree over who should apply for the letters.
