∙ 14y agoThe named executor in the will (or some other qualified person if the named executor will not or cannot serve) must petition the probate court for appointment as the executor. Once appointed the court will issue Letters Testamentary and the letters grant the power to settle the estate.

∙ 12y agoI expect that your county will have the basic process online at their web site. If not, a call to the county clerk's office will help you out. They often have a packet that contains all the necessary forms. If you have all the appropriate forms and signatures you should be all set. The bigger challenge will be if you need signatures from other family members. And some places require an attorney to assist.
