How do I get to waive the bond requirement during the probate process?

My husband died suddenly without a Will or Trust. The house is under his name alone. We have a minor daughter. I have requested the court to be appointed to be the administrator of his estate. Can I request the judge to waive the bond requirement? How do I request it properly so the judge will grant it?

I am so sorry for your loss.  Your state may in fact have a form that requests that the court waive the fee.  This is, though, generally done in a Will but there is none here.  I would speak with ana ttorney in your area about the best way to proceed.  Good luck to you both.
