Handling an Estate Without a Will (Intestacy)
[Probate Administration] Successfully Appointed as Administrator for a Sudden Intestate Death, Resolving Complex Debts and Assets
Case Overview: Client A, a resident of New Jersey, faced a tragedy when her husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He did not leave a Last Will and Testament. As a business owner, his financial situation was complicated by various business loans and personal debts. Creditors began calling immediately, and the client was left helpless, unable to even access her late husband’s bank accounts.
Legal Issues & Strategy: When a person dies without a will (Intestacy), the court must appoint an Administrator to manage the estate. Song Law Firm moved quickly to file a petition to have Client A appointed as the Administrator. Simultaneously, we issued formal Notices to Creditors to clarify the debt situation and developed an asset distribution plan according to statutory inheritance laws. We also negotiated directly with the bank holding the mortgage on the family home to prevent foreclosure proceedings.
Result: The court officially appointed Client A as the Administrator. Through our aggressive negotiations, we successfully reduced unjustified debts and liquidated assets to secure a stable financial future for Client A and her children. The complex probate process was concluded successfully within the legal timeframe.
