tracing intestate persons

[philwhiteuk]

How do I trace the administrator of an intestate estate?  I have the deceased's name but no other information.

If yoiu know the date of birth as well, and if letters of administration, or a grant of probate has been obtained by the "administrator" then the Court Service can tell you.
There is a fee of �5.00 for a standard 4 year search, and the search period can be extended by 4 year periods at �3.00 per additional period.
The address to write to is:
The Postal Searches and Copies Department
The Probate Registry
1st Floor
Castle Chambers
Clifford Street
York YO1 9RG
If no Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration was obtained then then you will have to do some detective work.

Sorry, should have said "Date of Death"
