Accessing Deceaseds Job Records

Summary

To access a deceased siblings job history and potential owed benefits, you need to be appointed as a representative of their estate. In Kentucky, this involves filing a petition with the probate court to obtain Letters of Administration. However, if the deceaseds affairs fall under Ohio law, you may need to consult an Ohio-based lawyer, either remotely or by traveling to Ohio. Alternatively, you can appoint a local representative in Ohio to handle the legal matters. Consult a local attorney for detailed guidance.
