Caroline Guntur (X) (asker) Dec 3, 2015: My apologies. I should have posted more context. The sentence is in a probate record and reads: "Lev. [name] for åpning av leilighet til etters. av testament."
Dawn Nixon Dec 3, 2015: More context is needed The first thing that springs to mind is 'ettersending'.

From the context, I assume this means 'ettersending av testamentet', i.e., in your case the apartment to which the will is to be sent.
