If there is no will how do you get the property left behind by a relative?

Question

Is there a way to get this done legally so that I can help restore the house. I wanted to help out but I run in to the problem that the home owner needs to request the permit to fix it up. It was talked about that it was going to be left to me but the will never got signed its written though.

Answer 1

probate courts in some states it automatic the rightful heirs get it. But mainly probate courts are your answer.
