If someone dies without leaving a will, a family member will need to apply to the Supreme Court for Letters of Administration before the assets of the deceased can be distributed. The entitlements of each family member to the estate of the deceased are set out in State intestacy laws. The person who applies to become the administrator will need the Grant of Letters of Administration to get access to assets such as bank accounts, shares, real estate, superannuation or life insurance.
