Re: death with no will
When someone dies in Pennsylvania without a Will, they are considered to have died intestate. In such cases, the person estate will pass to their nearest living next of Kin as prescribed by Pennsylvania statutory law. Pursuming you are your Aunt's closest living next of kin, we would go about having you appointed as administrator of her estate and probating same. If you would like to discuss this matter with me directly, please feel free to contact me directly either through our firm website at www.americanwillsandestates.com or by email at [email protected]. Thank you.
