They will upon conclusion of the administration of the estate. BUT, in some states the document itself meaning the piece of paper might no longer be accepted as valid after a certain period of time beyond the date on the document. In this case, most states allow the document to be renewed or reissued with a new date. In New Jersey, there are Letters Testamentary and Surrogate's Certificates. The executor keeps the Letters Testamentary and gives banks and other institutions the Certificates that attest to the fact that this person is the executor. The Certificates are dated. Some institutions will not accept them as proof of authority if they are older than 6 months. (This time period is just from custom, not by law). The reason is that within a 6 month time period, that executor could have been removed or discharged and no longer be the executor. If the Certificate is older than 6 months, the executor sends it back to the probate court and the probate court stamps the current date on it, making it good for another 6 months.
