What is a Letter of Administration Without a Will?
When a person passes away without leaving behind a will, their estate is distributed according to the laws of intestacy. In such cases, a Letter of Administration becomes necessary to appoint an administrator who will manage and distribute the deceased person's assets. Unlike a will, which designates beneficiaries and an executor to carry out the deceased's wishes, a Letter of Administration is required to handle the estate when there is no will in place.
