Re: Administration of Probate Estates
You didn't say what your relationship was to the decedent.
The court will appoint an administrator, usually on the petition of the one who wants to named adminisrator.
In Illinois the heirs of a decedent in an intestate estate if there is no spouse, children, siblings or parents are the nieces and nephews.
