NSW Letters of Administration (No Will)
NSW
When someone dies without a valid Will (intestate) in NSW, the next-of-kin applies for Letters of Administration instead of Probate. The court appoints an administrator to manage the estate, and assets are distributed under the Succession Act 2006 (NSW) intestacy rules.
