Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Full vs Limited Authority

Letters of administration are issued in cases where there is a probate without will. Basically you don't have to update the information in the letters of administration since everything goes through the attorney anyway. If though there are new addresses or something of that sort you can amended petition to show the addresses in the file. I never had to do that so I do know what you're talking about. The judge decides to will be given the letters of administration and if there are more than one individual he/she selects the most appropriate individual who qualifies in terms of their relationship to the decedent.i have been practicing law in this speciality for over 30 years in the san francisco bay area and if you wish to consult with me you can contact me at 925-945-6000.

Re: Full vs Limited Authority

There is usually a petitioner who asks the court initially for what they want. The judge has the option of granting the petition or denying it. Unless an executor is deceased, usually the letters would stay the same. What are the exact circumstances of your case?
