How do you file to be the administrator of the estate for your mother who died without a will and with almost nothing of value in Delaware County in Ohio?

Answer 1

Obtain a certified copy of her death certificate and take it with you to the probate court in your mother's jurisdiction. You can fill out a petition to be appointed the Administrator of your mother's estate. There will be a filing fee. The staff will answer any questions you have about filing but they will not provide any legal advice. If you have questions about the legal process od settling the estate you must consult with an attorney.

Answer 2
