Best Answer

The probate process is commenced by a petition to the probate court for some interested party to be appointed the Administrator of the estate. Each jurisdiction has its own requirements as to who is eligible to serve in that position.

If the decedent owned any property you should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law. Estates must be settled according to the law in your particular jurisdiction. Creditors must be paid first and tax returns may need to be filed. The Administrator is personally responsible for any errors made during the probate process.
