You need to be eligible for appointment, to petition the probate court for appointment and be successful in obtaining appointment .

An Administrator is appointed by the probate court to settle the estate of a decedent who died intestate, or, without a will. Each jurisdiction has its own laws regarding who is eligible to serve. The family should contact a probate attorney who will assist the family in petitioning the court to assign a reliable person to administer the estate. Once those debts and costs of Administration are paid the remaining assets may be distributed unto the next of kin as defined by the laws of intestacy.

It should be noted that any estate that contains real property must be probated in order for legal title to pass to the heirs at law.

How is a county administrator involved with the sale of an estate?

If the estate of a decedent needs probating and no one has come forward to administer the estate, then the county Public Administrator may petition to be appointed the administrator. They are required to perform their duties under the law as any administrator. They would need to petition the court for a license to sell the real estate. The proceeds would escheat to the state to be placed in a fund. If an heir ever comes forward and can prove their status as an heir they can make a claim for the net proceeds.
