The state and federal law require a deceased person’s account or assets and possessions to be freeze as soon as possible if there isn’t a will.

The intestate law set out who can apply to administer the affairs with a Grant of “Letters of Administration” and usually, a close relative of the deceased such as a spouse, child, a parent will have the legal right to manage the affair. Your solicitor or your probate specialist can help you apply for a grant of administration. When you get approved as the independent administrator of the estates by a judge, you possess the legal right to access and administer the deceased’s affair.

This is also known as technically obtaining probate without a will. The administrator can now organize the money, assets, and possessions. Taxes and debts on the property are settled and distributed the inheritance according to the intestate law which only spouses, civil partners, children, and other close relatives can inherit under these rules.
