Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
My Mother died without a will
She was in a nursing home in Texas,I live in Atlanta Ga and I am her only child.She had nothing. Recently the nursing home sent me a check for remainder of her ''trust fund'',it's for $ 1354.44.It is made out to ''the estate of my Mother''I took it to my bank to put it in my savings acct and they told me I had to get a ''letter of administration'' from the county in Texas where she died. I called them and they said they only do letters of adminstration if there was a will.What can I do ? The nursing home says they had to make it out that way because of the state audits of their books and can't make it out directly to me.

Re: My Mother died without a will
If she legally was a Georgia resident but was just staying in Texas, you might be able to do a No Administration Necessary in Georgia for about $500. (My office handles those). If she was a Texas resident there also may be options there.
