Document background
The Letter of Nomination of Executor is a crucial estate planning document used when an individual wishes to formally designate someone to manage their estate after death. This document is particularly important in U.S. jurisdictions where specific procedural requirements must be met for executor appointments. The letter typically includes the nominator's and nominee's details, clear estate identification, and specific powers granted. It may require witnesses and notarization depending on state laws. The document serves as evidence of the nominator's wishes during probate proceedings and helps ensure smooth estate administration.
