Dependent Administration of Estates

When heirs can’t agree, or if one or more of them are minors, a dependent administration probate proceeding is necessary. The administrator’s duties are the same, but she must ask for and receive court approval for each step she takes during the probate process. She must also secure a surety bond to protect the estate assets in the event she does anything wrong.
