Petition for Order Declaring No Administration Necessary INSTRUCTIONS I. 1. Specific Instructions This form is to be used when filing a petition for order declaring no administration necessary, pursuant to O.C.G.A. §53-2-40 et seq. 2. O.C.G.A. §53-2-40(b) no longer requires that all heirs must be sui juris. O.C.G.A. §5311-2 provides that a party to a probate proceeding who is not sui juris, must be represented by a guardian provided that the court may appoint a guardian ad litem or determine that the natural guardian, guardian of the person or property, or testamentary guardian has no conflict and may serve. O.C.G.A. §53-2-40(c) provides that the personal representative of a deceased heir is authorized to agree to the division of property. 4. A signed original agreement setting out the heirs' agreed upon distribution of the estate must be attached to the petition. Paragraph 3 requires that a definitive statement be made to show to the court that the persons named in paragraph 2 constitute all of the heirs of the decedent and that there are no heirs of the same or closer degree according to O.C.G.A §53-2-1. Provide the date of death for any deceased heirs. NOTE: If you are uncertain how to determine the heirs of a decedent, please refer to the "Heirs Determination Sheet" available from the probate court or at www.gaprobate.org. Examples of such statement would be: (a) "decedent was or was not married at the time of his death and had no children born, adopted, living or deceased, other than listed herein"; (b) "decedent had no other siblings half or whole other than those listed herein"; (c) "the decedent's brother who died previously, had no other children born, adopted, living or deceased, other than listed herein." The attached form consists of 12 pages.
