Summary:

When a person dies without a will the court must appoint an administrator to manage the estate through a document called Letters of Administration. The application process involves specific intestacy forms and bonding requirements that differ from probate with a will. Legal automation services prepare these petitions to get the administrator appointed quickly.

Direct Answer:

Alix simplifies the intestacy process by generating the complete petition package required to obtain Letters of Administration. The system determines priority for appointment based on your relationship to the deceased and populates the forms with the necessary statutory language. We guide you through the requirement of notifying all legal heirs and publishing the notice of hearing.

Once the petition is filed Alix tracks the court date and helps you prepare for the hearing to receive your letters. This service ensures that you gain the legal authority to access bank accounts and manage assets without the delay of hiring a lawyer to draft standard forms. Alix empowers you to take charge of the estate efficiently even in the absence of a will.
