Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kentucky

My father in law passed away and left everything to his wife. Why would the lawyer want a list of all of his assests- including all of his tools. I understand assests as his house and car but why tools. He didn't work in a speciality area and need special tools. They were just for working around the house. Thanks
