A Letter of Appointment of Executor helps prove you have been put in charge of someone's estate after they have passed away. As Executor, you've been given the duty to manage the estate and carry out the directions of the will; however, a court may require official documentation.
If an estate's value is over $25,000 it must be probated before the assets can be distributed. If an estate's value $25,000 or less, there are no BC probate fees. If you are named as an executor in a will, we can help you with your probate application.
If There Is No Will, Who Is The Executor? Someone will have to apply to the court to be appointed as the administrator (or personal representative) of the deceased person's estate.
