Best Answer

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.
