How do I know when I have authority as an executor to collect the probate estate assets?

When you receive Letters from the court, then you can collect the assets of the estate and title them in your name, as administrator/executor of the estate of Decedent. Letters Testamentary is a probate court form which is filed with the court and issued by the probate office after the probate court issues an order appointing an executor.

There are several different types of Letters: 1) Letters Testamentary; 2) Letters of Administration; 3) Letters of Administration with Will Annexed; 4) Letters of Special Administration. All Letters evidence an authority by the personal representative to act.
