 When an individual died leaving a will, the legal process carrying out the provisions of the will created many loose estate papers. Most early residents of North Carolina who possessed real property did not leave a will and died intestate. The process of settling a person’s intestate estate also created loose papers. These loose papers have a variety of titles and were generally created in the following sequence:
-{{Block indent|Petition to Probate the Estate}}
+:Petition to Probate the Estate
-{{Block indent|Administrator’s Bond}}
+:Administrator’s Bond
-{{Block indent|Petition for a Year’s Allotment for the Widow}}
+:Petition for a Year’s Allotment for the Widow
-{{Block indent|Petition for Widow’s Dower}}
+:Petition for Widow’s Dower
