If the plaintiff is relying upon this as his side evidence then it becomes his duty to produce the same by obtaining the certified copy of the  order

LOA (Letter of Administration) is an official court document issued for the purpose of giving authority to a person (it is granted) to administer all the estate of a deceased person. It is issued in case when a person dies intestate (without leaving a Will). Letter of administration gives legal right to the person to administer the estate of a deceased person. In cases when there is not any executor of Will then the beneficiary can apply for a letter of administration in the court.

Under the following circumstances, a request for a Letter of Administration (LOA) can be made:

1.When there is no Will;
2.When Executor declines or fails to accept executorship within the prescribed time period;
3.When no executive of the will is appointed in the Will;
4.When executor refuse to act or is legally incapable to do so;
5.When the executor dies prior to administration of the estate.

 Acco to Section 223 of the Indian Succession Act 1925, which deals with the person to whom probate or letter of administration cannot be granted. It cannot be granted to a person who is a minor or is of unsound mind. It cannot be even granted to any associations of individuals unless it is a company which satisfies the conditions prescribed in the rules.
