Deceased Keogh Owner - who can sign plan amendments/termination documents

[Cobras59]

The Keogh owner has died.  We have a qualified Keogh document that needs to be updated and terminated.  Who can sign on behalf of the Plan Administrator/employer?  The Keogh owner was self employed.  The Will names a daughter as Executor, but no Probate Estate was opened, therefore, no recorded Letters of Office.

We've had this several times and have had the executor sign docs.  Different investment companies will have different requirements and it is a matter of jumping through their hoops and satisfying their requirements, and sometimes wheedling and cajoling them into accepting what we all know is ok.

Thanks. I can't seem to get an answer from the TPA or an attorney.  Then technically a Probate Estate has to be opened just so that the Executor  can get a recorded Letter of Office to sign on behalf of the Plan.
