As the executor, you may need to apply to the court to '''probate''' the will in order to distribute the estate. If everything is in order, the court issues a '''grant of probate'''. The executor can then show a notarized copy of the grant of probate to banks and other asset holders, confirming that the executor has the authority to act for the estate. | |||
