The Letter of Executor of Estate (Testamentsvollstreckerzeugnis) is a crucial document in German estate administration, required when an individual needs to prove their legal authority to act as an estate executor. This document is typically needed when dealing with banks, government authorities, and other institutions that require formal proof of executor authority. It contains essential information about the executor's appointment, their powers and responsibilities under German law, and details about the deceased person's estate. The letter is issued following formal appointment procedures under German inheritance law and serves as official certification of the executor's role. It's particularly important in complex estates, international asset situations, or when formal proof of executor authority is required for legal or administrative purposes.
