Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Letter of Testamentary

My dad's estate can not be liquidated because companies such as Prudential (where he had an annuity) are out of California and they say they need a Letter of Testamentary. Can you tell me what a Letter of Testamentary is and how to get one?

Thank you so much, Lois

That is the first step that an executor would take after opening probate. If the estate is worth less than $ 100K there is another way to obtain the funds. Call me directly at 16192223504.
