The court should be notified of the additional heirs by filing an amended petition for administration ASAP. That will delay the probating of the estate because the newly added heirs at law will need to be notified of the probate proceeding.
If the person left a Will the Will will identify who the administrator (executor) of the estate is to be - only this person can anministor the estate. If there is no Will then the state will appoint an administrator (there will be country specific laws relating to how this happens).
It will be in the hands of a administrator.
The setup goes to my Program Administrator to complete
The court will appoint an executor and the estate will be subject to the intestate laws of the jurisdiction.
You get a poke from the administrator...
You just make a new account. lol and administrator might delete it.
Yes. It's controllable by standard users if not inhibited by the root user who happens to be the administrator.
First of all if you are an heir get yourself an atty Second , if there is an administrator of the decedents estate someone has to petition the court or be appointed by the court to be an administrator The money in an estate account when there is no will must be used to pay any outstanding debts and expenses of the estate. The administrator , court and estate atty should determine if there are any relatives entitled to the estate, spouses, children,siblings parents etc. If there are none the monies go to the government unfortunately . That's why its so important to have at the very least a valid an current will. Better yet get a good estate plan in place way before you get to this point . If there is no will any monies due to the decedent arepayable ( and possibly taxable ) to the estate . That can be very costly to the estate especially in the area of retirement accts etc as they can end up getting taxed at least twice .It sounds like you are a relative , if you are , or are the only one you may be entitled to the proceeds of the estate--GET A GOOD ESTATE LAWYER IF YOU AREENTITLED_ ASK FRIENDS/RELATIVES FOR A REPUTABLE ONE
Usually, if there are assets that belonged to the deceased that need to be probated, any heir at law or other person in interest, including a creditor, may apply to be appointed an administrator of the estate. An "executor" usually requires being nominated as such in a will.
Then you need to notify your plan administrator immediately. You will then receive a Return of Excess from the plan.
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate. The attorney can guide you to perform your duties as the administrator according to the provisions of your state laws.
They can be replaced by the court. A petition to the court can be submitted and a new executor appointed.
