Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
I don't know the procedure in Hawaii, but in New York it is not that difficult or expensive to get letters of administration, and it is a wise things to do because you may well need them in dealing with a lot of different people with whom your father had dealings. Letters of administration apply when there is no will, as opposed to being appointed executor if there is a will.
