Public
Administrator’s Reports

Reports were compiled
differently in different years. In the
earliest years names were placed on the reports until they were disposed
of. Some estates went on for some time
as heirs were sought or if there were difficulties in disposing of the assets.
In later years they
appear only once, most likely in the time period that they first were put in
the hands of the public administrator.
The reports might show amount estate was appraised at, the amount
actually collected, the amount of administration fees, the amount paid out for
expenses and any amount still remaining in the administrator’s care. Search the Database.
You will not find any further information by accessing these reports, however, you might find more information in the court records for the administration. There also might be further information about some of the estates in the newspapers. There might be advertisements looking for heirs and those who owe money or were owed money by the decedent.
