There are provisions in the copyright law that can be very beneficial to blood relatives of authors. Take a list of the copyrighted works and a family tree to a copyright lawyer. If you can't find a copyright lawyer in your locality, please send this information to me in an e-mail and I'll see what I can do.
How long were they married? - was it after he wrote the books? DId he have a will?
