GMAILwhen death happens and there is no will or power of attorney who has power?

The Probate Court is responsible for running letters of testimony upon the death of someone who has a will (testate) and letters of administration if they don't (intestate). There are two or three different scenarios that can play out if someone dies intestate. First, it depends on whether or not there is a surviving spouse, children, step-relatives, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc. If there are no close relatives, the estate escheats to the state and basically ends up in the general fund.
