Ancillary executor or administrator c.t.a. refers to which person?

• A. Any person to whom ancillary letters testamentary or ancillary letters of administration c.t.a. have been issued.
• B. A beneficiary
• C. A court
• D. The surrogate's court

Answer: (A)

Ancillary executor or administrator c.t.a. refers to the person who has been issued ancillary letters testamentary or ancillary letters of administration cum testamento annexo by the Surrogate's Court. These ancillary letters authorize that individual to administer the deceased’s estate in a secondary jurisdiction, typically for assets located outside the primary probate area. In other words, it’s the appointed person, not a beneficiary, the court, or the surrogate’s court itself, who holds those specific letters and has authority to handle the ancillary portion of the estate.
