What is a letter of administration?

A "letter of administration" is a document issued by the probate court to the person who is to administer an estate where there is no will. It proves that that person is officially the one to deal with concerning the estate. "Letters testamentary" is the name of the same type of document that is issued to an executor where there is a will.


How do you settle your deceased father's estate who died with a will?

The will must be submitted to the probate court to be proved and allowed. At the same time you petition to be appointed the executor. Once the court has allowed the will and appointed you as the executor it will issue Letters Testamentary in your name. You will have the authority to settle the estate according to the provisions in the will, the laws of intestacy and the laws governing probate in your state. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can guide you through the process. The actions of an executor are controlled by statute and there may be personal liability if the executor fails to follow statutory law. Most people need the expert advice of an attorney to carry out their responsibilities according to law and avoid any personal liability.

How do you find out who was the executor of a deceased person's estate?

There are several local services that you can find at this list of Probate Registries: http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/HMCSCourtFinder/CourtFinder.do?court_work_type_desc=probate or you could try searching the National Will Database: http://www.tnwdb.com but I think that's a commercial venture.

Your husband left parental rights to his Mom in his will what does this mean for you the Mother?

The terminology might be different in your state as opposed to here in New Jersey but this might, repeat, might answer your question. You must look into the laws of the state of probate and of your own if they are not one and the same. In New Jersey a decedent may appoint a "testamentary guardian", who would obviously assume the usual parental rights over the minor. The catch is that no such appointment is effective if the other parent is alive unless the surviving parent consents in writing to the appointed testamentary guardian taking over. It might be the same regarding the "parental rights" you mention. I cannot imagine any state allowing one parent to deprive the other of parental rights, merely by saying so in the will.
