Re: No Will !!!!!!!!!

If there is no will your mother's estate is governed

by the laws of intestacy. There is a law which

outlines the right to inherit. Spouses and children are the heirs if there is a spouse or a child.

The estate must be probated in the county surrogate's office. A family member has to go to the surrogate's office to be appointed administrator of your mother's estate. The

admintrator of the estate is required to distribute the estate in accordance with the laws of intestacy.
