The applicants, the parents of the deceased, sought a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee without a Will and an order dispensing with an administration bond.
The court previously adjourned the matter due to concerns about a potential marriage in Las Vegas and undisclosed liabilities related to the deceased's law practice.
The applicants provided supplementary evidence confirming the Las Vegas wedding was a media stunt and not a legal marriage, and that the estate's liabilities were estimated at $2.2 million.
The court granted the letters of administration but declined to dispense with the bond, citing the need to protect known and potential creditors, including those related to the deceased's law practice.
A bond of $1.5 million was ordered.
