Re: No will left
I take it there is more than one child of the deceased parents. All children need to get together and see a lawyer about taking out an administration. However, depending upon the amount of money and other property involved, an affidavit of heirship may suffice.
Re: No will left
What you need to clear the bank accounts depends on the estates. If the estates owe no debts and they are small, then you may be able to clear the account. using affidavits. (IOW, no administrator is necessary.) If there are debts, or if the heirs are fighting, or if the estate is large, then you can have the court appoint an adminitrator of the estate.
