If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney Gregory L. Jensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jensen Law Group
Yes. Happens all the time. They would apply to be appointed Special Administrator and have authority to round up bank accounts, file the will, open safe deposit boxes, etc. They would NOT be entitled to take money for themselves but must report their work to the probate court and follow the court's instructions. To be appointed Special Administrator is pretty simple but usually involves help from an attorney.

You will need to contact the bank or other financial institution and find out what they need. They usually have their own forms and requirements. However, they all have one thing in common you will need to provide an original death certificate for each institution.
