Q: i am trying to probate my aunts estate/property. Can i be assigned admin. her son is unresponsive to me. I am from NY
Her son, my cousin has blocked me from communications. He had a brother he passed away and his son (deceased brother) is incarcerated. The bank of the property is willing to allow me to action on the property if i provide letters of administration; my mother and i had paid for the funeral costs and i have the certified death certificate.
A: Yes. If there is no Will naming a particular person as Executor/trix then you may apply for Letters of Administration.
Nina Whitehurst agrees with this answer
A: Yes, you can apply, but it is better if your mother applies. You will have to serve all closer kin, and if they want it by appearing in court, they will get it.
