Laws governing estate administration prohibit anyone from handling a decedent's estate when they pass away intestate, or without leaving a Will, without first getting Letters of Administration. This would be considered tampering with the estate of the deceased.
The individuals listed
therein are given authority to manage the estate of the deceased by the Letter
of Administration. The dead person's assets are presumed to belong to the Chief
Judge of the State prior to receiving a Letter of Administration on an Estate. An
individual has passed away intestate if they do not have a legitimate will and
no executor. As a result, managing the estate of the dead is handled by the
next of kin, such as a spouse. They are unable to proceed until they are
granted letters of administration on intestacy.
Letters of administration
demonstrate that the court has reviewed the pertinent records and is confident
the individual named in the grant is qualified to manage the estate. The assets
are distributed to the next of kin in accordance with the Succession Act of
1981 timetable if there is no will.
