Standard forms (in papers or by electronic filing) that must be prepared by the attorney and filed in an application for letters of administration are usually available, and the courts prefer that they be used. The forms are not uniform, varying even from county to county within a state, but they are similar. In every state, there is a petition for letters of administration, an oath of administrator, and a notice in some form to interested parties. the papers consist of the following:

1. Petition for letters of administration (frequently combined with item 2 below),

2. Oath of administrator (frequently combined with item 1 above),

3. Designation of the Clerk of the Court as a person on whom service of process may be made (sometimes combined with petition and oath),

4. Renunciation, if any,

5. Citation,

6. Notice of application for letters of administration, if necessary.
