Q: when becoming administrator of a deceased estate.. do the other surviving children have to be served and/or agree?
A: When becoming an administrator of a deceased estate, the process can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances. In many cases, the other surviving children of the deceased do not have to be served or provide their agreement for someone to become an administrator. However, it is important to consult with an attorney or a qualified professional who specializes in probate and estate administration in the relevant jurisdiction. They can provide guidance on the specific laws and requirements that apply to the administration process and help ensure that all necessary legal steps are followed. The advice of an attorney is essential to navigate the complexities of estate administration and to protect the rights and interests of all parties involved.
