To obtain the power of an estate after the death of the owner, one must typically go through the legal process of probate. This involves presenting the deceased owner's will, if there is one, to the court for validation and following the instructions outlined in the will for distributing the assets of the estate. If there is no will, the estate will be distributed according to state laws of intestacy. It is important to consult with a probate attorney to navigate this process effectively.
