You must be appointed Personal Representative of the estate.�You may call me for a free consult.
You do need to be appointed to act on behalf of your father or his Estate now that he is deceased. Mr. Slater would be a good attorney to consult with on this matter if you are close to him. You may also want to consider writing a letter to the landlord explaining the circumstances and how you need to get his papers etc. from the home AND I assume once the landlord does not get rent he will want his stuff out. You can certainly let him know you are prepared to help him get that done too. Sorry for your loss. Best of Luck.
My colleagues are correct. However, if your father was renting and there is no really big estate, perhaps a letter from an attorney explaining the current situation would be all that is needed. If you need assistance, please contact my office for an appointment. 904-997-1031
