Get a Letter of Testamentary Near Round Rock, TX

When you are named the executor of a will, it’s your responsibility to ensure the estate is distributed properly. That includes collecting and taking inventory of all assets including bank accounts, real estate, investments, businesses, and more. It also involves paying debts and owed taxes. Needless to say, this is a significant responsibility and your performance as an executor will affect other people, especially the beneficiaries of the estate. For that reason, executors are required to be appointed by a court and receive letters testamentary, which is a legal document giving the executor the authority to act on the deceased person’s behalf and stating that they are indeed responsible for executing the will. Estates left without a will require the estate administrator to get a similar legal document called letters of administration. Legacy Estates & Trust can provide you with either of these necessary tools and offer other legal services to assist you throughout the probate process in the Round Rock, TX area.
