Deceased Estates

One of the following may be accepted:

  • Administrator - An original, a court certified true copy, or a photocopy or fax of a “court certified” true copy of the Letters of Administration appointing the administrator or administratrix.
  • Executor - An original, a court certified true copy, or a photocopy or fax of a “court certified” true copy of the Letters Testamentary appointing the executor or executrix.  Some states use the term “personal representative” instead of executor or administrator.
  • Heir-at-Law - When no executor or administrator has been, or is to be, appointed, an affidavit by the heir(s)-at-law may be submitted. The affidavit should describe the aircraft involved and state that no application has been made for the appointment of an executor or administrator; that, insofar as the affiant can determine, no such application shall be made; and that he/she/they is/are the person(s) entitled under the laws of the state having jurisdiction to take possession of the aircraft or to dispose of it, as the case may be.
