DESCRIPTION:
“Notice/Letters of Testamentary” are documents issued by the court of proper
jurisdiction which states the authority of the executor of an estate of a deceased person.
It is issued during probate of the estate as soon as the court approves the appointment
of the executor named in the will and the executor files a security bond, if one is
necessary.

been appointed by the court, the existing certificate of title MUST be signed by this
