One or more of the adult children has to apply for Letters of Administration. While you say 'easily and inexpensively', there is no such thing, as there are court filing fees, transfer taxes, and other expenses and taxes that will arise during an estate proceeding and the adminstration of the estate. Unfortunately, there is no roadmap on how to do this. I suggest you consult with and retain a qualified attorney familiar with this process.
