Hello colleagues: I have done many probates with a Will and many intestate probates. For the first time, I now have a matter now with both a Will and intestate assets.</div>

The Decedent has a Will which distributes specific assets to his spouse and daughter from a prior marriage. The Will lacks a residuary clause. The Will fails to distribute the home, owned with his spouse as community property. So we have assets to be distributed
by the Will and the intestate property to be distributed by the descent and distribution statute. I understand the requirements for granting nonintervention powers and notice requirements for an intestate estate.</div>

My question is - Do I file a single Petition asking for the Will to be admitted and for the spouse to appointed as Personal Representative under the Will, and to also be appointed to administer the intestate asset (the community property home). Am I asking
for Letters Testamentary with the order authorizing the Personal Representative to administer all assets of the estate including intestate asset? Or do I need to request both Letters Testamentary for testamentary assets and Letters of Administration for intestate
assets?</div>
