This is known as dying intestate, and your next of kin may need to apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration from the Supreme Court. Our affiliate law firm Safewill Legal can help guide you through this process.
A Letters of Administration is an approval granted by the Court, allowing a person (usually next of kin) to administer the estate of someone who has died without a Will. Letters of Administration will allow the administrator to distribute the deceased’s assets according to that state’s rules of intestacy.
Probate is a legal document issued by the Court affirming that the Will of a deceased person has been verified and registered in the Court and that the executor named in the Will has been given the authority to administer the estate. Once the Will is verified by the Court, the Executor can administer the deceased’s estate by collecting the deceased’s assets, paying off any debts of the deceased, and ensuring that the remaining assets are distributed to the beneficiaries of the estate in accordance with the deceased’s wishes.
