A "letter of administration" is a document issued by the probate court to the person who is to administer an estate where there is no will. It proves that that person is officially the one to deal with concerning the estate. "Letters testamentary" is the name of the same type of document that is issued to an executor where there is a will.

A Letter of Administration in the UK is a document issued by the High Court (via the Probate Registry) that empowers an appointed person or persons to collect and distribute a deceased persons assets. Applying for a letter of Administration is the process when somebody dies without a will. If the deceased left a valid will you would apply for a Grant of Probate instead. The procedure is practically the same.
