More details to this question:
My aunt passed away last month while in a Nursing Home. I had been paying monthly additional costs for her care and Nursing Home sent me a check for reimbursement made out to the estate of my aunt. I can't pay expensive atty fees that will probably exceed the amount sent. Can I file something myself to have authorization to her estate funds being reimbursed?

You might look into a California small estate affidavit pursuant to California probate code 13100. If you qualify for that it is very easy to do and there are free forms on the internet. Good luck. -John
