	Admon is an abbreviation for letters of administration. All to do with someone dying intestate - the court therefore appoints people to deal with his/her estate. Letters of administration will not contain as much detail as a will might. Jill

The Administrator(s), often members of the family, are then obliged to follow the laws of intestacy when making the distibution.
