The short answer is yes, you have to show an accounting unless the heirs or beneficiaries of the estate waive the requirement.
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.
Letters Testamentary: You may order your letters testamentary after you have taken and filed the oath and have had your bond approved, if a bond is required. These letters will serve as the evidence of your appointment when dealing with third persons concerning the affairs of the estate.
