Does anyone know how to file for administrator of estate for someone who had no will?

Question

My man had no will when he died and his family is still uncooperative. I found out that I can claim his body by filing as administrator of his estate . How do I do that?

Answer 1

Call you local probate court. They should have a form to petition the court to be the admisintrator of an intestate estate. However, your state has a statute regarding who the court should appoint, and the court, absent some overwhelming reason not to do so, will appoint whomever the statute lists, most likely a family member.
