In such situations the court will appoint an administrator. It is issued during probate of the estate as soon as the court approves the appointment of the administrator who files a security bond if one is required. Certified copies of the letters are often required by banks and other financial institutions, , stock transfer agents or other courts before transfer of money or assets to the administrator of the estate.Generally, one or more relatives of a decedent will submit their name in a petition for letters of administration, and the court will rule on each submitter's fitness for the duty and on the merits of competing claims, if any.
