when a client comes to us and they’ve
00:06
had a family member who’s passed away
00:07
and they did not have a will
00:10
there is a different type of probate
00:13
that we can file it’s called a petition
00:15
for letters of administration
00:16
and it’s a little bit of a different
00:19
process than when you have a will
00:20
but it’s a relatively simple way to have
00:23
someone appointed to
00:25
to administer the assets in the estate
00:28
and then ultimately distribute them out
00:30
and the way that they’re distributed is
00:32
just to the beneficiaries at law they’re
00:34
divided up evenly and distributed out to
00:36
those folks
00:37
so we can definitely help folks who have
00:40
a loved one that died without a will
00:43
it’s always better to have a will though
