A Letters of Administration is a legal document issued by the Supreme Court, granting a person (the administrator) authority to manage and distribute a deceased person’s estate when there is no valid Will.
Without a Letters of Administration, banks, financial institutions, Refundable Accomondation Deposit (RAD) or the Land Titles Office may not release funds or allow property transfers. A Letter of Administration provides legal protection for administrators and ensures the estate is handled correctly.

If no executor is able or willing to act, then in certain circumstances, a beneficiary may be eligible to apply for a grant of probate.
