With a Will

It is important that the most recent legal will be located as soon as possible. The will specifies who becomes the executor (also called the personal representative).

Without a Will

According to the Intestate Succession Act, if there is no Will the estate goes to the deceased's legally married spouse, adult interdependent partner and other relatives in order of their blood relation. If there is no Will and there are no known relatives, the Public Trustee may administer the estate.
