"Letters of appointment" is a document the clerk issues, pursuant to a court order, that authorizes a personal representative, guardian, or conservator to act for the estate or subject person.
The Letter of Authority issued by the Probate Court evidences your appointment as Personal Representative (sometimes referred to as the “PR”) of the estate and empowers you to act on behalf of the estate.
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.
In Arizona, the timeline for wrapping up a probate has no strict deadline for executors. Ideally, the recommended start date is around 60 days after the individual's passing and done within a reasonable timeframe.
Until termination of his appointment a personal representative has the same power over the title to property of the estate that an absolute owner would have, in trust however, for the benefit of the creditors and others interested in the estate. This power may be exercised without notice, hearing or order of court.
A personal representative, also referred to as an Executor or Administrator, is the individual entrusted with the responsibility of managing the estate of a deceased person. This designation can be made by the decedent through their Estate Plan, but is not confirmed until formally appointed by the probate court.
