Re: probate
Hello,
Sorry for your loss. If your mother had a will, then there is someone in charge of this, they are called the personal representative. That person should contact you about your mothers estate, but this may take a few weeks. This process goes through the probate court - but in which state depends on where your mother lived. You can call the probate court to see who is the representative.
Feel free to contact me if you have other questions about this.
