[RPPTL LandTen] Entering apartment for a will or clothes for funeral

[Roland Waller]

There is no such thing.  As an order to allow entry.  Although it is not practical in most circumstance, the Landlord should require the letters be issued to the personal representative who is charged with securing the  property of the decedent.

As a practical matter, the landlord does not want to wait to see if an estate is open and letters issued, which does not happen many times and is appreciative of a relative to clear out the unit.

If the landlord wanted to comply with the statute, he could post the 3 day notice and after 15 days enter the unit and  store whatever belonging there are until an estate is opened.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Entering apartment for a will or clothes for funeral

Does anyone handle probate issues as they relate to ll/ten?

When a tenant dies, generally we advise to never allow access.

Is there any kind of “order to allow entry” or any fast track emergency probate method for a relative to get in and find a will or get clothing for a funeral?  I thought I saw one once but can’t find it anywhere.

The dangers of allowing access to relatives are so high as they grab anything of value and take off never to be heard from again.
