I spoke with them and they said that we have to open an estate, but its the only thing that would go into it. Is there any other possible way to get the money with out opening an estate?????

No. Only an appointed Personal Representative can bring or maintain a lawsuit on behalf of a decedent. The claim would be the only assets of the estate.

Is this a business or personal claim? If it is a business claim, then maybe an officer or manager of the business can proceed with filing the claim. Please contact my firm to further explore the matter. www.isternlaw.com
Mr. Kaplan has advised you well. You must have a Personal Representative to bring or continue the lawsuit that is now of record. Also, you must have an attorney to open the probate file for you. Sorry to hear of your loss. If I can be of assistance, please contact my office.
