My great grandfather died intestate. His probate folder is missing from the county courthouse. The probate index, however, shows that a public administrator was appointed 24 Aug. 1975. Can anyone give me an idea of how long after someone died that a public administrator would be appointed? Months? Days? Weeks? Any clues appreciated. __________________________________ Cheri Casper 1220 W. 13th Street Spokane, WA 99204 Phone: (509) 624-4497 Fax: (509) 624-4497 clcasper@sprynet.com OR catpurrson@rocketmail.com Researching -- Allison, Anderson, Carney, Casper, Derrington, Durbin, Helms, James, Johnson, Jordan, Miner, Pennington
