The capacity of a person without letters of administration to sue in a deceased estate will be dependent on the nature of the suit and what he is suing for. Generally, letters of administration confers the administrator with the powers and duties of an executor to a will which include the right to sue and be sued on behalf of the estate. See IN RE KARIYAVOULAS (DECD.); DONKOR V. GREEK CONSUL–GENERAL (1973) JELR 64101 (HC)
