Best Answer

A qualified person must petition the probate court to be appointed the Administrator of the estate. Generally, a qualified person must be over eighteen years of age and an "interest party" to the estate. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate law who can review your situation and explain your costs and options.
