Best Answer

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.
