What happens if there is no will?

An Edmonton estate administration lawyer will assist with ensuring someone is appointed by the court to manage the estate if no will is present. This is generally a surviving spouse or close relative. If there are no relatives – other people may be eligible if they were close to the deceased and an estate administration lawyer can help with this process by applying to the court for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.
