Yes you certainly do. The probate court will issue the Letter when the estate is established. It is what banks and others will need to see in order to know that the executor has the legal right to do those things.
Although as an executor, you would receive documentation called "Letters Testamentary" as opposed to "Letters of Administration", which is the name of the documentation a personal representative of a decedent's estate receives when there is no will.
