Do you need letters of administration?

You need letters of administration if the decedent had assets in his / her name that do not pass to heirs or beneficiaries by any other method and no other lesser means works. Other methods would include assets held in a joint tenancy with right of survivorship or in a bank payable on death account, life insurance for which the beneficiary designation is not the estate, retirement assets for which the beneficiary is not the estate. Other lesser methods in Texas can include an affidavit of heirship, which can suffice for real property, small estate affidavits, an application for order of no administration, or community administration. I can't speak to other states.

Generally, you must be qualified under your state law to petition to be appointed the Administrator of the estate. In most jurisdictions that means you need to be either an heir or a creditor of the decedent. If you are qualified then you file a Petition for Administration with the Probate Court. You will need a certified copy of the death certificate to accompany the Petition. When the Petition is allowed you will be appointed the Administrator of the estate and the court will issue Letters of Administration. After the appointment has been made you will have the authority to administer the estate and will be required to perform all the tasks required of an estate Administrator.
