Often, the
journey into a probate proceeding begins with an effort to obtain "Letters."
This document is sometimes referred to as "Letters Testamentary," "Letters
Probate," "Letters of Administration" or something similar.
In Arizona,
"Letters of Administration" are issued by the probate court to the
Personal Representative (executor) of the Estate. The Letters are
the document by which the Personal Representative obtains legal authority
to act on behalf of the Estate.
Letters of
Administration are not freely granted. A person has to prove
entitlement to serve as Personal Representative before Letters are issued.
Unless bond is waived in a Last Will & Testament, a bond must be provided
before Letters are issued.
More is
required before Letters are issued. An application for probate must
be prepared and filed. Sometimes, certain waivers are necessary.
In short, to obtain Letters, a probate proceeding must be properly
initiated and conducted.
