Letters Of Administration Guide
Summary
Obtaining letters of administration is necessary if the deceased did not leave a will. The administrator manages the estate, unlike an executor named in a will. As an administrator, you have a duty to protect estate assets, but beneficiaries like siblings may have access rights. Consider legal advice for managing property access disputes.Full Conversation

Do you have any specific questions about the process?
When I'm grnated the letters of administration do I then become executor of dads estate?
Hi ****! When you are granted letters of administration, you do not become the executor of your dad's estate. Instead, you become the "administrator" of the estate. The executor role is specific to those named in a will, whereas an administrator handles the estate when there is no will.
Do you have any other questions about the administration process?

Hi ****! As the administrator of your dad's estate, you have a legal duty to manage and protect the estate's assets. If there is no will, your brother may still have rights to access the property as a beneficiary. You might want to consider seeking a court order if you believe it's necessary. Have you discussed this situation with your brother?
