A letter of instruction (also known as a letter of intent) is an informal supplement to an estate plan which provides your Successor Trustee/Executor with detailed information concerning your wishes after you die.

Basic Contents of a Letter of Instruction Firstly, it contains personal information, such as the executor's names and contact details. Secondly, it goes into specifics about the deceased's assets, delineating bank accounts, safety deposit boxes, and real estate properties, among other assets.

Here are six steps to write a letter of instruction: Create a header. Before you write the content of the letter, create a header at the top left-hand corner of the document. Address the reader. Explain the project or task. List each step. Conclude your letter. Revise the document.

Your valid ID, such as a state-issued driver's license or ID card, U.S. passport, or military ID. Proof of death, such as certified copies of the death certificate. Documentation about the account and its owner, including the deceased's full legal name, Social Security number, and the bank account number.

Also known as a letter of intent, a letter of instruction is specifically designed to express the deceased's final wishes—everything from how the estate plan should be carried out to the location of important documents and guidance for loved ones.

Bank Accounts Held in Trust After your death, when the person you chose to be your successor trustee takes over, the funds will be transferred to the beneficiary you named in your trust document. No probate will be necessary. To transfer the account to your trust, tell the bank what you want to do.

Probate is required if: the estate includes real property (land, house, condominium, mineral rights) of any value, and/or. the estate has assets (other than land, and not including cars) whose net worth is more than $100,000.
