I need to enter my relative/friends residence, but it is sealed. What can I do?

If there is a seal on the residence, either verbal or physical, you need permission to break that seal. It is a misdemeanor to break a "CORONER'S SEAL" without permission of the Coroner. A Coroner's seal is placed to protect the decedent's property. It is not intended to deprive the legal heirs of their rights.
