The Missouri Petition To Determination of Warship is a legal process used to determine who is entitled to receive the estate of a person who has died without a will (intestate). The petition is typically filed by the surviving spouse, children, parents, or other relatives who claim an interest in the deceased person's estate. The petition is filed in the probate court of the county where the deceased person lived and asks the court to determine the heirs and distribute the estate accordingly. There are two types of Missouri Petition To Determination of Warship: the general petition and the family settlement petition. The general petition is used when there is no agreement between the claimants as to who the rightful heirs are. The family settlement petition is used when the claimants can agree on who is entitled to the estate and the distribution of the assets.
