Re: interstate death

Was there a will? If so, then you need to file an application to probate the will. IF there is no will, and there is a need for an administration, then you need to file an application to appoint an administrator. If there is no need for an administration (i.e. no debts, no lawsuits) then there are a few other options. I need additional information such as the date of death, number of debts, and any property owned by the deceased. Also, how did the deceased die?

Re: interstate death

I am assuming you are referring to intestacy (no will). You need to file an application to determine heirship with administration in probate court. If all the heirs can agree in writing on an administrator, the court will appoint that person. If they can't agree, the court will appoint an administrator.
