Owner dies w. no Will

One of our owners died and left no will. His estate is in probate and the Public Administrator has sealed his door. The HOA has two concerns. One: how can we get paid for the monthly dues? Two: shortly before his death, the owner had a plumbing accident and we are concerned about mold-how can we gain access to his property to take care of the problem?

Hi Harold, I know it sounds cruel but the death was in December and we have not heard from the probate attorneys nor the city/county. As a five-unit complex, we are in trouble if for months we do not get 20% of our "income" each month. In addition, this unit owes additional monies to the HOA for a special assessment done last fall. Lastly, we have very little contact information for the person that passed, he was a very insulated individual and it does not appear that there is any local family. Should we be filing paperwork or contacting someone?
