The Probate Letter Of Testamentary is a crucial document in Philippine estate administration, issued by a competent court after a will has been proven valid through probate proceedings. This document becomes necessary when a person passes away leaving a will that names an executor to manage their estate. The letter serves as the executor's credential, proving their authority to act on behalf of the estate in accordance with Philippine law. It enables the executor to perform essential duties such as gathering assets, paying debts, filing tax returns, and distributing property to beneficiaries. The document is particularly important for interactions with banks, government agencies, and other institutions that require proof of the executor's authority. Under Philippine jurisdiction, this document must comply with the Civil Code, Rules of Court, and relevant Supreme Court Administrative Orders.
