[WSBARP] Limited Administration?

[Eric Nelsen]

No way that I know of. Title company will never go for it without a PR being appointed, who would have power to enter into a contract and would have authority to sign a deed of conveyance. Then decedent’s share of the proceeds have to go to decedent’s heirs at law, or escheat if none. Hopefully the 3.33% of the net proceeds from sale will be sufficient money to pay all administrative expenses.

Sincerely,

Eric

Greetings List -

A colleague from a different area of the practice called me with a question about a jointly held piece of property where Decedent was a 3.33% owner. They have passed without any heirs, family (that they know of - extended family may exist in the weeds).

They are looking for guidance as to how the other owners of the property can get the necessary "signature" to be able to sell.

Is there any way of doing this without opening a full probate where someone gets letters after the 40 day period?
