Document background
The Letter of Authority for Deceased is a crucial document in Danish estate administration that becomes necessary when someone needs to legally manage and settle the affairs of a deceased person. This document is particularly important in Denmark, where the administration of estates is governed by specific legislation including the Dødsboskifteloven. The Letter of Authority for Deceased typically includes detailed information about the deceased, the appointed representative, and the scope of authority granted. It serves as official documentation for banks, government agencies, and other institutions to recognize the representative's authority to act on behalf of the estate. The document must be prepared in accordance with Danish legal requirements and may need to be accompanied by supporting documentation such as a death certificate and proof of relationship to the deceased.
