Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Estate Planning lawyer at Candace K. Ladley, Attorney at Law
Yes, if your father does not have a Will appointing an executor or if none of the appointed executors want to be appointed, you can petition the court where your father's property is located to have yourself appointed as administrator of the estate. The Court will make you post a bond in the amount of the value of the property. The premium for the bond can be paid from the property in your father's estate.
